Image Post

This is an image that I found when I searched "Top Secret by John Reynolds Gardiner" on google images search engine.

I decided to post this graphic image to my blog for two reasons: 1 It's a children's chapter book that teaches plant photosynthesis (a topic taught in 4th and 5th grade) in a fun, quirky kind of way and 2 I am currently reading it to my students and we all love it!

This book just goes to show that real subject matter can be taught using children's books and they truly can reinforce curriculum, even if it is a fiction book. This image/book supports my overall blog topic of how children's books can aid teachers, and faciliate learning in the elementary classroom.
