HOW TEACHERS CAN USE THE NUTS TO YOU UNIT:

This is the perfect book to add to any study of seasonal changes, fall, or as part of a Lois Ehlert author study.

Please note that if you are looking for independent work for K and early first, this is not the product for you. It would work as a mentor text if you project the pages for group discussion with these grade levels. Otherwise, it will be too hard.
