A home for their hearts Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 We just started apologia zoo 1. I want to find some books on my dc level that help explain classification. They can be fiction or non-fiction. I may have asked this question before but I can't remember and don't have time to search for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTMindy Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I don't have a book either, but one thing we did (this was right after Halloween, so it was easier) was to have a bunch of different kinds of candy and explain that this is all candy, so that is like the Kingdom. Next I asked them to sort it into 2 groups. They chose to sort it into chocolate and non-chocolate. This was the Phylum. And so on, so they really understood how something can be in different categories. It was a very fun activity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubermomto5 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 http://www.librarything.com/work/407235/book/31863471 _Benny's Animals and How He Put Them in Order_ is absolutely the best kids' book on the subject, hands down. Don't miss it! yes, we found it at a thrift store and it was so clear and easy to understand. also, the dk encyclopedia of animals has a nice section at the front ( maybe 3 pages + more info) with beautiful photographs.

Melissa in St Louis Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 "Benny" is an AWESOME book, but is evolution-based. Just an FYI.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElisabethGrace Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Benny's Animals is OOP. I saw many fairly inexpensive copies on Amazon. This is how I purchased my copy last year. Great book! And, of course, I first heard it recommended on WTM forums!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
