K-3Dial Easy-to-Read series.
Illustrated by
Laura J. Bryant.
"When we cut an onion up, / We break apart its cells. / Inside the cell is onion oil, / Which really, really smells!" This newly illustrated collection ponders fourteen familiar questions, including "How do birds fly?" and "What is the sound in a seashell?" The cheery art reflects the tone of the lighthearted, informative verse. Despite a few singsongy passages, the accessible poems will find many classroom uses.
