This is an original book I created for college for a 4th grade science lesson on the Dodo birds and extinction. When I became a teacher, I continued to use the book, and the students absolutely loved it. It has original illustrations (although you can tell they are original, they are still decent illustrations that the kids like), but this is a fictional story based on non-fiction that helps students understand the impact that humans had on the real Dodo birds. It is a great book to teach huma
