On The Move

On The Move is a step up book to reading by National Geographic School Publishing. Since it is step up to reading it is very simple. The text in the book is very large print and the pictures are the main focus of the page. Summarizing the book is hard to do with this simple of book. It has the same text on every page asking the reader "How do I move?", and shows a picture of an animal doing an action. The student is to guess how the given animal moves. The very last page of the book tells how the animal on each page actually does move since some of the pictures are misleading actually.
This book is for beginning readers that are just starting to learn about animals and how they move. It is very basic and doesn't really provide for very much reading, but can be important in the students who are learning about animals and gives them good pictures for observation as well. I thought this book was a good book with basic information for students but I wouldn't really recommend this book past 1st grade because it doesn't provide much for reading and the movements of the animals should be well known by this age.
