Book Review (OT): Where is My Home? (children's book, animal habitats)

Where is My Home? by Lucy Parrianer (WhiteWater Publishing, 2020, 36 pages, $10.38 pb, ages 3-8)

Take a tour through six habitats of the world with their animal inhabitants, some of whom you may not know (no names are given). We don't know who you are, either, until you draw yourself on a page near the end - you could be you, the young reader, or even  your family dog.

Start with animals of the rainforest and meander through the Arctic, the desert, the ocean, the mountain range, and, finally, end up in the woodland.

What is a Habitat?

A habitat is a part of the Earth that provides shelter, food, and water - a suitable environment for only some animals to live in. Several animals are perfectly suited to survive and thrive in the ocean while others can only inhabit the Arctic.

Where is My Home? is a delightful book that explain why a habitat is perfect for one species and not another. The book also has a fun test (if a test can ever be fun!) and pages to draw you in your habitat.

A Book to Use!

When a new habitat is introduced, the pages are fairly empty but following pages are populated with the appropriate animals who chat about why they live there (and why you can't live there very successfully).

And finally, the final page is for the adult, with ideas of how to use the book for activities plus curriculum, spelling, punctuation, and grammar fun along with the author's website (25 more activities and 4 lesson plans).

We LOVE this book!
