Review # 2 was written on 2012-09-11 00:00:00 Yaro Tsave Why Oh Why are Deserts Dry? is a wonderful example of how imaginative, yet educational The Cat in the Hat series can be. Exploring the different types of deserts we learn about their inhabitants, why they are climatically dry and how the native animals and plants survive. Through the use of rhyme we are taken to all of the worlds most famous deserts (and some I was unaware of) and are told some fascinating facts by our familiar friends , the Cat in the Hat, Sally and Thing 1 and Thing 2. Each page is filled with interesting details and vibrant descriptions of deserts and this coupled with the quirky illustrations makes Why are Deserts Dry? a fun read for all ages . Younger readers may require a two sitting read, as the ideas can be quite overwhelming without further explanation and at 39 pages the rhymes can be a little exhausting. For older readers, such as those aged 8 and above who wish to use this book for independent reading , difficult words are beautifully broken down by Thing 1 & 2 with the use of pronunciation plaques. Why Are Deserts Dry? Would be a great way to introduce a class project. ICT based research sessions incorporated with geography and mixed material art sessions would enable the class to collectively provide input into a beautiful wall display. For more advanced groups, short rhymes focusing on a specific fact about a desert could be attached to the display. The Cat in Hat series is always an enjoyable read, but what makes Why Are Deserts Dry? So unique is how it keeps the essence of a Dr Seuss book while still being very informative. Why Are Deserts Dry? Is a complete pleasure to read, but I do advise practising reading aloud as sometimes the more complicated rhymes can cause you to get a little tongue tied. Enjoy. |
