The Berry Monster - A Science Inquiry Poem for Children

Have You Seen the Berry Monster is a rhyming picture book about two young children who come to realize that in order to solve the mystery of why their blueberries keep disappearing, they need to use science and inductive thinking. My hope is that this colorful and engaging science inquiry format will provide parents, grandparents, and teachers, an opportunity to further explore animals and their habitats, the environment around them, and the concept of food chains in a way that makes exploring these topics fun. "The Berry Monster" will show children that they are already scientists for they make observations every day and in doing so, they will come to solve this mystery.
