Habitats Annotated Bibliography (Comparison Chart)
Annotated Bibliography w/Credits
Overview

I wanted to locate picture books that presented this concept to Kindergarten through Third Grade students in both imaginary and informative ways. I was also attempting to introduce students non-fiction books and resources that co-relate to some of the fictional characters this age level usually reads about.
