Analogies for Young Kids Book 2: Nature (Volume 2)

Analogy puzzles challenge children's creativity, encouraging the development of the logical and analytical skills so important to schoolwork at all levels, from preschool to college. Jan Zebrack's imaginative nature-based puzzles capture children's imaginations while introducing them to the delight of solving analogy puzzles. Solving analogy puzzles also fosters a child's predictive skills, which are essential for successful reading. Zebrack's analogy puzzles all focus on nature and animals, with themes ranging from comparative anatomy to life cycles, aging, diet, and habitats. Beautiful photographs capture children's attention and help them remember the analogies. Donated by award-winning photographer Diane McAllister and others, the photos have an international flair, taking children across North America, Laos, Thailand, Brazil, Africa, China, and Australia. The book offers the child an opportunity to prove his or her understanding of the concept of analogies by entering a contest on "Your Page to Create" at the end of the book. Selected submissions will be displayed on the website: www.JanZebrack.com and included in Zebrack's next book, "Amazing International Analogies" by Students in India, China, Germany and the United States."
