El magnetismo (Magnetism)

There are many kinds of grass, but when most people think of this green plant, they think of the kind found in backyards and parks. Grass is like many other plants with its roots, leaves, and needs of soil, water, and sun. Young readers find out that acres of grass come from the tiniest of seeds. With this knowledge, they'll never look at someone mowing the lawn in the same way again. Full-color photographs closely correlate with the accessible narrative, which is written especially for emerging readers.

This book makes learning about the concept of opposites fun, as readers discover recognizable examples of objects that are hot and cold! Using colorful photographs that connect to simple text, alongside exciting and recognizable sight words, young readers will enjoy learning about hot and cold things, while also building confidence in their reading skills. This book also includes a page for caregivers and teachers that suggests guiding questions to help aid in reading comprehension.
