Book Reviews of Meet the Meerkat
Book Review: Meerkat nonfiction
Summary: 4 Stars
When I am clicking though the television channels ("Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on") I confess I will screech to a halt to watch 'Meerkat Manor' which is why I wanted to take a look at this new book. Darrin Lunde provides lots of meerkat facts, presented in a question-answer format.
Little Meerkat,
what do you eat?
I eat insects, spiders, and scorpians.
I smell them with my nose.
Then I dig them up with my feet.
what do you eat?
I was struck by how well the format of the book lends itself to the Big 6 research model Step 1 which begins by listing the questions that need answers during the research process. What animals eat, where they live, what they look like are the staples of young researchers' animal reports. The book itself could be a model for the product or Step 5.
Patricia Wynnes illustrations capture the expressive faces of the meerkats and their movements. I would absolutely add this book to my 599.74 section.
