23missb 's review for:
The Thing About Jellyfish
by Ali Benjamin
4.75/5 stars. This book has so many great lines and passages. I actually noticed four grade 6 girls from the same class check this book out so I decided to see if it was any good. Gah! I love how the scientific method is incorporated (I want to hand it to the grade 6 teacher at my old school who is all about science and see if she can incorporate it as a read aloud in some way) and all the info about jellyfish makes me wish I had more time to go down that rabbit hole. Fascinating. The plot is really well done and I adore the fact that this book was born of a rejected non-fiction article. This book has so many great points for discussion, I’m already thinking about when I can realistically read it out loud to my kid who is currently only 4. Read the author’s notes and and acknowledgements at the back, you’ll be glad you did.
