Have your students make the literature/science AND math connection with our grow beast alligator children's book, Zack's Alligator. Available alone or with 2 of our famous Gro-Beast Alligators, this is one of the best literature connections we know! In this beautifully illustrated book, all the fun begins for Zack (and your students!) when a small package arrives in the mail. Contained within, a small alligator key chain and a note from Zack's uncle. Following his uncle's instructions, Zack places his key chain in the sink and WOW! a huge, fun-loving alligator emerges! Have your class chart the growth of their own growing alligator. Or, have them test the effects of growing their new "class pet" in ocean water. This book is a great way to begin some terrific science in your classroom! Also see our Gro-Beast Alligators, sold separately, Item # GB-2.
Also check out "Zack's Alligator Goes To School" by Shirley Mozelle, the second book in series! Another great literature connection!!!
