I read it to my 4.5 year old, its a fairy long book, but because the rhymes are fun and the vocabulary simple, my son stays engaged till the last page! Besides, he and I learn all the fun facts about reptiles... Lots of them! For example, that Iguanas drink salt water: "they have glands that strain salt from salt water, then they sneeze the salt out through their nose"
Cat in the Hat books are my favorite, especially the Cat in the Hat Learning Library the are so educational. This book is all about reptiles and will have all the stuff your child will want to know. This is a great book to have and treasure.
My son loves every book in the Cat in the Hat Learning Library--and Miles and Miles of Reptiles is certainly no exception. All of the books in the series have the familiar characters that we all know and love, with a writing style reminiscent of Dr. Seuss' contagious ramblings. They have a fun, ryming pattern that is enjoyable to read, even on the 99th repeat. I got this one for my son because he was learning about reptiles at school and was very interested in the subject. This book helped reinforce the details that he had already learned, and helped introduce new facts in a fun and humorous text. I highly recommend this book, along with the other Cat in the Hat titles, for any kid who likes to have fun while learning!!
Miles and Miles of Reptiles Here, in Miles and Miles of Reptiles, the setting is constantly changing just as the mind of a child, which helps hold their interest while, simultaneously explaining different reptile's living environments. You will go on a trip around the world to see all different types of reptiles and the weather and climate differences they all live in. Author, Tish Rabe keeps Dr. Seuss' usage of rhyme and off-rhyme strong in this book; but also educates and channels the audience of this children's book. It is more than just a rhyme on a page, it is a gateway to keep the readers interested long enough to get the fact across, and help them to remember the main points. As stated in Miles and Miles of Reptiles, "When lizards are hungry, some things that they eat are plants, insects, snails, and other types of meat." (Rabe. 11) This catchy, repetitive sound of "eat" is a point of interest for the child, yet these lines of, essentially poetry, teach the child that these listed items are food to the lizards, and that they are also meat. Contrary to most opinion's of Dr. Seuss' writing styles, rhyme is not his only literary tool; voice is a prominent element in this, and every one of the "The Cat in the Hat's Learning Library" books. Miles and Miles of Reptiles, is read with a subconscious poetic rhythm; due to the punctuation, line breaks, and rhyme itself. It is nearly impossible to read any books from this author's style without a "sing-song" voice. This has the speaker in the book appearing to be an adult who mentally reaches out to the children and assists them in furthering their education, no matter how "goofy" or how many childish traits they must use. Which in the mind of a child could be an aunt, uncle, older cousin, or grandparent. A person who does not mind veering off subject or adding in a twist to make the story more memorable to the mind of the child that they are trying to reach. The tone, which goes hand in hand with voice, of this particular book is awe, amazement, and what seems to be an abundance of excitement to learn new information. Which is channeled specifically to this age level of readers. This diversely educational book of reptiles and facts about them, is really channeled toward first to third graders who crave knowledge and any form of it, because the tone of this book is the excitement to learn, the child feels more in sync with the book and, in turn strives to retain all the information that this book could possibly have to offer them. This book contains a couple beautiful characteristics which allows it to stand apart from most the books in the Children's Literature genre. Throughout this short story, there are "question boxes." These little boxes are usually on the side and have some well known Seuss friends holding them up high, these are thing one and thing two and I'll tell you just what those boxes do. They have added fun facts set to rhyme which brings them to life in the child's mind. For example, "When the babies are hatched, this is how small they are- each one weighs as much as Thing One's candy bar." (Rabe. 39) Children are more susceptible to remember a framed and colorful box, over black and white words on the page. This teaches the beginning stages of photographic memory which when learning new facts is a great tool to have. Another genius add in found in this book is located towards the end there is a glossary, which defines a few of the tougher words, even as an adult; if words are difficult to read or I do not know how to define them, I am less likely to read, remember, or comprehend that passage. Children are no different, with the glossary located in the back, the reader must get all the way through the book, at least once in order to come across the definitions of the tougher words. Then at this point they are able to go back and read through their book again with the definitions in mind. This gives them the option to use their context clues to decipher the sentence, which in the long run gives them a deeper, more sound, understanding of the book; or the reader would now have a list of the defined words that they can use as a reference point until they have learned the words, how to read them, their meanings, and how to properly use them in a sentence. This beautiful book written by Tish Rabe, Miles and Miles of Reptiles, is a great starting point for first through third grade readers who have a thirst for knowledge in science. I highly recommend this book, along with the all of the other Cat in the Hat titles, to this age group for its pure childish genius.
It is definitely one of the best books about fascinating world of reptiles of all sizes, shapes and forms. The book answers most commonly asked questions by kids about reptiles, like "what the difference between a croc and an alligator?" and many more. There is also scientific information that as an adult we never came across, but no worries, adults can memorize it too thanks to the fun easy to recite rhymes. The rhymes make the biology study so fun, you will want to find more books like this one. It is a great gift idea and it is a keeper for your home library. My 4 year old loves it and he will cherish it when he goes to school.
really impressed with information provided. when i was much younger I think through boy scouts and other reasons I learned what was shared and then through not needing to remember I forgot. my wife is also impressed with the contents. for a young person interested in reptiles this book is great. highly recommended.
This book is a cute book all about reptiles.The cat in the hat is taking everyone on a reptile journey. Staying true to the original sing song, rhyme like text, this book teaches children all about reptiles in a way they will remember.Learning about animals can be fun. This book makes it both fun and memorable.
My 3 year is an early reader and absoloutely loved this book. He is 4 now and still loves it. He brought it in to show and tell as his favorite book. All of the Cat in the Hat books are great and a good investment.
