What children learn in Level 30

Animals are alive too. They need food, water, air, and a home.
A dog eats food and drinks water. A fish needs water to live in, and air in that water.
A bird needs a home, like a nest. A frog needs a pond.
Your turn! A kitten is thirsty. What does it need? Water!
Try it with a grown-up! Pick an animal you know. Name its food, its drink, and its home.
