Book Review: An Informational Science Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Heinz, Brian J., author. Marstall, Bob, illustrator. Butter Nut Hollow Pond (2000).
An Informational Science Picture Book.
Telling the cycle of life through pictures and words, Butter Nut Hollow Pond, informs readers about ecological study. It details the life of turtles, hawks, woodchucks, and pumpkinseed fish. Using humans to unveil the story in a peaceful setting, it is filled with drama throughout, enticing youngsters into the story.
The author has been an elementary school science teacher for twenty-three years (author page, unnumbered). He accurately gives information on his topic, engaging readers as he writes. The information is accurate and the wording is easy for young students to understand. For example:
As the bass circles back, kerploosh! Something hits the water above him and dangling legs seem to struggle and twitch. The bass strikes as another meal. But not this time. The object is hard. It pulls violently at the fish's jaw and is dragged forward. Moments later, a young boy hauls him in on rod and reel (pages, unnumbered).
Reading or listening to the words, young minds are given easy instruction on the circle of life as well as how the human aspect enters in.
