This book is good for Kindergarten to 1st grade students. It is very colorful and simplistic and it teaches the students about things they encounter in their daily life. However I do not think I would have it in my classroom, I can find a better book that teaches them the same things

I'm genuinely confused why anyone would give this less than five stars. Ehlert just gets the magic found in nature.
