From wasp's nests to webs, mole holes, termite mounds, and much more, Kingfisher Readers L2: Where Animals Live by Brenda Stones and Thea Feldman examines the many habitats and strategies animals use when making their homes. Familiar animals like foxes and swallows are joined by more exotic species like chimpanzees, polar bears, and penguins. Challenging vocabulary is highlighted throughout―burrow, den, migration―and the art and text weave together seamlessly to help readers put the words in context and develop increased confidence in their reading skills.
LEVEL 2: BEGINNING TO READ ALONE Simple and engaging, with plenty of interest and repetition. Vocabulary is easy and familiar, and sentences are mainly short and simple. Guided Reading Level: J
