The water color illustrations in this book are vivid, bold, and realistic depictions of many different types of animals in their natural habitats. The text is written in lyrical, rhyming prose. Arnosky allows the reader to make connections between tasks in their own routines, such as getting a drink of water from the faucet to tasks in the animals routines such as a deer in the forest sipping water from a pond. The story inspires reverence and care for animals and the natural world we all inhabit. Wonderful platform for a science unit studying animals, natural habitats, or it could tie in to language arts study of rhyme. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Identifies some of the things happening in nature while one goes about an ordinary day, such as a shark circling a reef while one brushes one's teeth, or puffins eating fresh-caught fish while one eats dinner. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

At This Very Moment is the forty-ninth book I have read from Arnosky, whose work I greatly admire, and I think it is wonderful! It isn't simply educational, in the sense of introducing children to various animals—although it does do that—no, it is also inspirational, and seeks to inculcate in children an awareness of the natural world around them, as well as the idea that many things are taking place at once, all over our beautiful planet. I found the artwork here beautiful as always, and think the text makes for an excellent read-aloud. I also greatly enjoyed the author's afterword, in which he talks about each species mentioned, and what they mean to him. The beaver and the bluejay are neighbors, the alligator is thought of every day, the lions are in his dreams, and the raccoons in his woodshed. Highly recommended to all young animal and nature lovers, as well as to anyone searching for picture books that promote awareness of and love for our fellow residents here on earth. ( )
