Reviews

""Appealing to browsers, the This is My Place series brings young readers into an animal’s habitat and shows them the sights. With energetic illustrations and a chatty narrative, readers are welcomed into the title animal’s home. The left-side text provides information on the animal while the right-side text focuses on the habitat itself, other inhabitants, and interesting facts about its geographic characteristics. Little Bat and the Fabulous Cave introduces Little Bat, who “was born on a sunny morning but doesn’t know what the sun is!” Little Bat investigates the cave where it lives with thousands of other bats, catching bugs and flying past stalaktite, stalagmites, and a stalagnate using echolocation. Little Octopus and the Vast Ocean follows Little Octopus as it first hatches under its mother’s watchful eyes. Soon it is swimming around, finding food, exploring the ocean floor, and even coming across a shipwreck. A charming, creative nonfiction series unfortunately missing many nonfiction text features, making it most suitable as a read-aloud or a basic introduction to cave or ocean habitats."" —Julie Goldschmied, Booklist
