About the Site
As children read about mammals, show them this Web site that features 41 photographs of baby and adult animals. You may want to preview the site to select photographs. When you click a photograph, an enlarged version shows in a new window. Close the window to return to the array of small photos. Note that when you enlarge a photo, you can see the copyright information in the background. This cannot be avoided. This online gallery is sponsored by photographers Klaus-Peter Wolf and Birgit Koch.
What to Do
Invite children to view the photograph gallery. Ask them to click and enlarge the photographs you have selected. You may wish to have volunteers choose their favorites to enlarge and show in more detail. Have children identify at least one mammal. Ask if they can find an animal that is not a mammal.
