Oceans - The Seven Seas of Billy's Bathtub (with an introduction by Sydney Butler of the American Zoo and Aquarium Association)

Publisher's Description

Billy O'Toole and his Great Dane, Molly, enjoy dirt, grime, and muck. They don't like baths. It's really very simple ... simple until a giant Orca whale surfaces in Billy's bathtub and insists on teaching Billy and Molly that bath time can be a whale of a good time. With a magical splash, Billy, Molly, and the friendly Orca set sail on a cruise that will teach youngsters hundreds of interesting and important facts about the ocean and the creatures that live in and around the sea. With the co-operation of the Oregon Coast Aquarium (home of Keiko the Orca whale), Flying Rhinoceros has produced one of the most entertaining and educational books about the ocean ever to set sail.

The Flying Rhinoceros Curriculum Trunk was created to free teachers to do what they do best ... teach! The Curriculum Trunk accomplishes two things:

1. It provides teachers with the tools they need to help their students succeed in school and meet their academic standards.
2. It provides turn-key curriculum solutions for the complex task of teaching in themes with cross-curricular objectives.

1. Guarantee improved student performance.
2. Save time, money and resources.
3. Blend new technology and traditional teaching in a captivating way.
4. Include authentic assessment tools which help teachers evaluate student success.
