{"product_id":"octavia-and-her-purple-ink-donna-rathmell-9780976494355","title":"Octavia and Her Purple Ink Cloud","description":"Octavia Octopus and her sea-animal friends love playing camouflage games to practice how they would hide from a \"big, hungry creature.\" Octavia, however, just cannot seem to get her colors right when she tries to shoot her purple ink cloud. What happens when the big, hungry shark shows up looking for his dinner? This creative book introduces basic colors along with the camouflage techniques of various sea animals - a great introduction to marine biology! The \"For Creative Minds\" educational section includes fun facts about octopuses and animal camouflage and protection. The craft uses primary colors (paint or tissue paper) to help children learn about blending colors. This fictional story includes a 3-page For Creative Minds section in the back of the book and a 27-page cross-curricular Teaching Activity Guide online. Octavia and Her Purple Ink Cloud is vetted by experts and designed to encourage parental engagement. Its extensive back matter helps teachers with time-saving lesson ideas, provides extensions for science, math, and social studies units, and uses inquiry-based learning to help build critical thinking skills in young readers. The Spanish translation supports ELL and dual-language programs. The interactive ebook reads aloud in both English and Spanish with word highlighting and audio speed control to promote oral language skills, fluency, pronunciation, text engagement, and reading comprehension.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donna Rathmell, Doreen Rathmell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0976494353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780976494355\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arbordale Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/10\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.16h x 8.84w x 0.41d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e110230 \/ Octavia and Her Purple Ink Cloud\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2006 pg. 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScience Books \u0026amp; Films\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2006 pg. 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2006 pg. 301 - Marginal, Seriously Flawed","brand":"Donna Rathmell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054523642111,"sku":"9780976494355","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_790da016-7711-4d06-806e-0237fcb603bb.jpg?v=1685030445","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/octavia-and-her-purple-ink-donna-rathmell-9780976494355","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
