Amphibians and reptiles
Katharine Hall
- Reading
- Pause at the comparison points and invite your child to predict how an example animal fits before reading on. Use the photographs to support looking closely at the features being discussed.
- Themes
- Comparing animal classes: The book compares the two animal classes through questions about skin, warmth, breathing and birth, with animal examples and photographs. The comparison is presented as factual information, encouraging readers to examine shared features and distinctions rather than treating the groups as interchangeable.
- Worth knowing
- The book discusses how animals stay warm, breathe and are born, alongside skin coverings. These are factual topics rather than a narrative of animal encounters.
