Key Concepts
A Little Turtle (Poem)
This poem is about a small turtle that lives in a box. The turtle is slow and carries its shell on its back. When it is scared, it pulls its head and legs inside its shell. The turtle catches mosquitoes, fleas, and other small bugs. The poem is fun because it describes the turtle's slow and careful way of life.
The Tiger and the Mosquito (Story)
A big, strong tiger thinks he is the most powerful animal in the forest. A tiny mosquito comes along and challenges the tiger. The mosquito buzzes around the tiger's head and bites him. The tiger tries to hit the mosquito but cannot catch it. The small mosquito troubles the big tiger. The story teaches us that being big and strong is not everything. Even small creatures can be clever and brave.
Animal Features
Different animals have different features. A turtle has a hard shell. A tiger has stripes on its body. A mosquito has wings and can fly. Each animal has something special that helps it survive. The shell protects the turtle. The stripes help the tiger hide in the grass.

This chapter helps us learn opposite words. Big is the opposite of small. Strong is the opposite of weak. Fast is the opposite of slow. The tiger is big, the mosquito is small. The tiger is fast, the turtle is slow. Learning opposites helps us describe things better.
