Review: The Gecko and the Echo. Goldy the gecko is the star of The Gecko and the Echo. He’s a self-assured, singing reptile who thinks he has what it takes to be famous. Goldy sings his heart out, playing guitar and dancing along. The trouble is, he’s very loud and makes noise all day (and night) long. He’s not overly considerate of his friends and neighbours, and one day they let him know what they think of his musicality and thoughtless behaviour.

Book: An Anthology of Aquatic Life. An Anthology of Aquatic Life is a beautiful collection of knowledge about anything and everything to do with the ocean. It is huge, a whole 224 pages, and filled to the brim with interesting information and descriptions of sea life from the intriguing blue sea dragon to the rather terrifying goblin shark. This book has everything in it about the ocean. I loved the descriptions of the animals and the little facts here and there. One of my favourite animals featured is the rainbow-coloured scale worm, which Hume has suggested should be called something more suitable like ‘disco glittersnapper’ or ‘rainbow ravager’.

Increases comprehension. When students can hear the story or information as a whole, read by a human being, their comprehension increases. Reading books word-by-word doesn’t help create a whole experience. Kids in grades 3-8 who can finally put all the pieces of information together at one sitting, begin to make meaning of text.
