Cynthia Rylant has done it again with another great book. I have never really known Rylant to be a writer of non-fiction, but this book proves me wrong. In The Journey: Stories of Migration Rylant talks about many different animals and insects that have an incredible migration story. She talks about insects like locusts and butterflies to animals like whales and the caribou. It is amazing to think that such creatures are capable of such a huge task.This book works perfectly for me. In science I teach life cycles and I can use this book to discuss the butterfly. The video below just adds to how amazing the monarch butterfly truly is!
If you like this book by Cynthia Rylant then here are some others to try: When I Was Young in the Mountains, The Old Woman Who Named Things, and Scarecrow.
