Description
Have You Seen the Berry Monster is a rhyming picture book about two young children who come to realize that in order to solve the mystery of why their blueberries keep disappearing, they need to use science and inductive thinking. My hope is that this colorful and engaging science inquiry format will provide parents, grandparents, and teachers, an opportunity to further explore animals and their habitats, the environment around them, and the concept of food chains in a way that makes exploring these topics fun. "The Berry Monster" will show children that they are already scientists for they make observations every day and in doing so, they will come to solve this mystery.

Have You Seen the Berry Monster by Jane Carlson Pickering is an intriguing tale that is both informative and whimsical. Its gentle engaging verses, brought to life through lovely illustrations, build a sense of mystery. It invites the reader to join the characters in trying to solve the mystery of who is taking their berries each night. As their imagination takes off with each page, children are treated to the discovery of a different nocturnal visitor each morning. What a great read aloud to children allowing speculation and discussion. The inclusion of the animal track identification guide inspires children to pick up this book again and again to do their own investigations. What a delightful way to immerse children in the wonders of reading and nature!
