Fun with Rhinoceroses


This is a brand new book about a woman named Anna Merz and her hard work to save African rhinos that I decided to read with my 2nd grade classes.  This book has some great extra materials in the back matter at the end including links to videos with real baby Rhinos so you can see them running around (just like puppies!) and also get a chance to hear what a wide variety of sounds they make. It is fun to show students how to use the extra material at the end of a book to get more information and to learn more on the topic.

After reading about Anna it makes the book come alive to hear her actually speaking about her work:



Here are some funny and rather unexpected baby Rhinos noises:
