Discuss things students once feared and the reasons why they no longer fear them. Then, have each student write and illustrate a page for a class book.
Excerpted from
Creepy Creatures: Do They Scare You?
In this fascinating book, readers will learn that no animal exists simply to frighten or repulse us, but rather to feed, house, and defend itself. Kristin Kest's detailed illustrations help us to see that every creature's unique attributes help it to survive. Creepy Creatures is full of facts and humor about 20 creatures including the shark, tarantula, piranha, vulture, komodo dragon, and Tasmanian devil.
