I think this book would be something that could translate into studies on animals that swim when talking about habitats and survival methods. I know this was one of the kids in my wife's first grade class when she taught and they were mesmerized by the book and that these different animals could swim. Below would be a great short video that would accompany this book. Teachers would be interested in reading the book and then using this videos as supplemental materials to continue an peak their students interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM4An3aGWio
