Night Becomes Day: Changes in Nature

Night Becomes Day: Changes in Nature by Cynthia Argentine is a great book to share with a wide variety of children.  Cynthia did a great job with the text and photographs.  There are many examples of change throughout nature, explained in opposite pairs like ancient and new, quick and slow, and brighten and dull.  This is good to facilitate a discussion on change.  It is also a great book to show examples of precise word choice-There are sentences like "It flattens hills and forms valleys." and "Animals scamper."
