Title: "Tiger Shark"
Author: Deborah Nuzzolo
This book introduces the kids to tiger sharks and describes their physical characteristics and behavior. The kids figured out quickly why they are called Tiger Sharks (striped liked tiger). They thought it was interesting that the adult sharks eventually lose most of their stripes.
Title: "The Naked Mole-Rat"
Author: Jody Sullivan Rake
This is a book from the Series "Weird Animals". The kids loved the pictures of the naked mole-rat. It is such an ugly creature that some thought it was actually cute. The book describes their unique home, body, behavior and how they survive in the animal world. Naked mole-rats are mostly hairless and have sharp ugly teeth. The kids were "freaked out" that snakes like to eat naked mole-rats.
We shared these books with grades 3 & 4.
If your kids were old enough, you could also suggest a great fiction book called The Naked Mole-Rat Letters by Mary Amato~SHuff
