Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
What Do Animals Do in Summer?
Rebecca Felix · 2017
72/100
👍 Worth It
A well-calibrated early reader that does exactly what it sets out to do — real photographs, controlled vocabulary, and curriculum-aligned science content for kindergarten through Grade 3. Cherry Lake Publishing's consistent format and the book's presence on Epic! signal genuine educational adoption. It lacks sparkle, but reliable and purposeful classroom tools are genuinely worth recommending.
