{"product_id":"little-skinks-tail-9780976882381","title":"Little Skink's Tail","description":"While Little Skink hunts yummy ants for breakfast, she is suddenly attacked by a crow! But she has a trick to escape - she snaps off her tail, and it keeps on wiggling! Little Skink is happy to be alive, but she misses her bright blue tail. Readers will enjoy pretending with her, trying on tail after tail. The first is too puffy-fluffy, and another too stinky! Then one day Little Skink gets a big surprise...and she doesn't have to dream of tails anymore. The \"For Creative Minds\" section has information on tail adaptations and communications and a mix-and-match tail activity. This fictional story includes a 3-page For Creative Minds section in the back of the book and a 25-page cross-curricular Teaching Activity Guide online. Little Skink's Tail is vetted by experts and designed to encourage parental engagement. Its extensive back matter helps teachers with time-saving lesson ideas, provides extensions for science, math, and social studies units, and uses inquiry-based learning to help build critical thinking skills in young readers. The Spanish translation supports ELL and dual-language programs. The interactive ebook reads aloud in both English and Spanish with word highlighting and audio speed control to promote oral language skills, fluency, pronunciation, text engagement, and reading comprehension.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arbordale Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/10\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780976882381\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.22h x 8.86w x 0.41d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eScience Books \u0026amp; Films\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2007 pg. 243\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2008 pg. 28 - Marginal, Seriously Flawed\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2008 pg. 87\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e117981 \/ Little Skink's Tail\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.6 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Janet Halfmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44637541793973,"sku":"9780976882381","price":13.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_bb6215a3-f05c-42ae-8833-671a1314607d.jpg?v=1726582132","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/little-skinks-tail-9780976882381","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
