Where the Buffalo Roam: Bison in America by Kate Waters - OPTIONAL


Waters, Kate Where the Buffalo Roam: Bison in America EARLY READER Penguin Young Readers, 2017. $15. Content: G.  

This book gives basic information on Bison including where they live, their size, their young and the relationship bison have with people.  There is a short history on how the Bison were brought to near extension but now they are being protected.  There are many colorful photographs throughout to supplement the story and a glossary at the end.  

As far as early readers go, this one is intended for a more confident reader.  There are 5-6 sentences per page with a glossary of fifteen vocabulary words because of the high reading level.  This would be a good source of information for animal reports, but I’m not sure kids would pick it up for a fun read on their own.  

EL (K-3) – OPTIONAL.  Reviewer, C. Peterson.
