"The Story Goes On" by Aileen Fisher

The first thing that struck me about this book was the illustrations!  They are all very bright and definitely attract the reader's attention.  I'm not sure how the illustrator created the illustrations but there are parts where it looks like newspaper was incorporated!  It's very interesting.  This is a story written as a poem about the cycle of life.  First a bug eats a plant, then a frog eats the bug, then a snake eats the frog, etc.  As a teacher I could see myself introducing a science unit about the life cycle to my students with this book.  It would give students a good overview of how all animals depend on each other to continue the life cycle!
