1 Animal Classification Cards July 2011 The following set of 70 animal classification cards were created to use as you read through children s books. It is recommended that you print the classification cards onto cardstock and laminate them to make them more durable for younger hands. You can punch a hole in the bottom of the cards and create a fandex of the cards. Group classification cards are also provided if you would like to sort the animals into categories/classes {mammals, invertebrates, amphibians, reptiles, fish and birds}. Each card includes the animal s name and a brief tidbit about that animal. Along the bottom of the cards, you will also find a listing of various books that animal can be found in. Please note that some of the animals may be stuffed animals on the shelf or part of a picture on the wall. When starting any book unit, you can pull out the cards that go along with that book and have your child find those animals in the story. At the end of this printable there is a reference page that lists the animals found in each of the books so that you can quickly pull out the cards needed. Note: When printing, do NOT use Shrink to Printable Area in settings or the cards will NOT print out correctly in size! Choose the NONE setting under page scaling options so cards will be same size. You can also find extra go-along printables to use with many other hildren s books on my website: Created by

4 Blue Jay Porcupine Wild Rabbit Lizard Male and female blue jays look the same. The male is slightly larger than the female. When looking for food blue jays can mimic the sound of hawks, to scare and make other birds think that a hawk is closeby. Male porcupines are called boars, females are called Sows and babies are called pups or piglets. When threatened, a porcupine raises its sharp quills. The average life span of a wild porcupine is 5 to 7 years. A male rabbit is called a buck. A female rabbit is called a doe. A baby rabbit is called a kit. A rabbits teeth never stop growing. A group of rabbits is called a herd. There are about 3,000 species of lizards. The scaly skin of a lizard is made of keratin, the same substance that human fingernails are made of. Some lizards' tongues are longer than their entire bodies! The ABC Bunny & Play With Me The ABC Bunny Play With Me, Little Rabbit, If Jesus Came to My House, & The ABC Bunny and
5 Squirrel Frog Owl Quail Squirrels can live ten to twelve years. There are over 300 varieties of squirrels around the world. Squirrels can fall up to 100 feet without being hurt. They use their tail both for balance and as a parachute. Frogs don t actually drink water with their mouths. They drink water through their skin. Frogs hibernate in the wintertime. The male frog is the only one who can croak. A group of owls is called a parliament, wisdom or study. A baby owl is called an owlet. The tiniest owl is the Elf Owl, which is 5-6 inches tall and weighs about 1 ½ ounces. If startled, ground quail explode into short, fast flight. They prefer to run from threats. The average life expectancy for a wild quail is 1.5 years although they may live for up to four years.

6 Kitten Dragonfly Butterfly Fly The nose pad of a cat is ridged in a pattern that is unique, just like the fingerprint of a human. At birth, kittens cannot see or hear. The color of a kitten's eyes change as it grows older. Dragonflies are the fastest flying insects. They can reach a speed of 60 mph. A dragonfly can fly in any direction: up, down, forward or backward. There are about 24,000 species of butterflies. Butterflies can see red, green, and yellow. Many butterflies can taste with their feet to find out whether the leaf they land on is good to lay eggs on. There are more than 240,000 species of flies. Some male flies sing to female flies.

10 Robin Hermit Crab Crab Fish In one year, robins can produce three successful broods. The male American Robin sings a lovely and continuous song that is often described as a cheerful carol. Kittens for Keeps {Jenny s Surprise Summer},, & The Quiet Way Home Hermit crabs grow out of their shells as they get bigger. They are nocturnal, so they move around more at night than during the day. Hermit crabs are not actually crabs, but arthropods. Hermit crabs have 5 pairs of legs. Kittens for Keeps {Jenny s Surprise Summer} Crabs can be very small or as wide as 13 feet. Crabs are omnivores; they eat both meat and plants. Marine crabs breathe underwater with gills. Land crabs use two cavities that act like lungs. Crabs typically walk sideways.

11 Starfish Snail Horseshoe Crab Clams Starfish can live in every ocean in the world. They can drop an arm to get away from a predator and can grow one back. Starfish also have tiny eyes on the ends of their arms. Kittens for Keeps {Jenny s Surprise Summer} Snails cannot hear, so, in order to find food, they use their sense of smell. They can live for 15 to 20 years! Snail s tongues have lots of teeth on them to grind up their food. Some people eat snails as food. Kittens for Keeps {Jenny s Surprise Summer} and The horseshoe crab has 10 eyes. Its tail is not used as a weapon, but helps it get through sand and steer it in the right direction. The horseshoe crab is not actually a crab and is more closely related to scorpions and spiders. Kittens for Keeps {Jenny s Surprise Summer} and I Am an Artist Some clams have snorkels so they can breathe when they bury themselves in the sand. The largest known clam weighed over 700 pounds! Clams have a foot to help them navigate in the ocean. Clams eat plankton, just like whales. Kittens for Keeps {Jenny s Surprise Summer}
12 Snake Grasshopper Ant Turtle Snakes are cold blooded and change their temperatures by lying in the sun or in the shade. Snakes do not have eyelids, so, when they are shedding their skin, they become temporarily blind. Grasshoppers migrate in groups like birds. You can use a grasshopper s chirps to determine the temperature outside by counting the number of chirps in 15 seconds and adding 39 to it. Ants antennae allow them to hear, taste, touch, and smell. Ants communicate with each other by touching their antennae with each other. When ants find food, they leave a scent trail for the others in their colony to follow. Only the queen ant can lay eggs. A group of turtles is called a bale. Turtles spend most of their time in water and have webbed feet. A turtle shell is flatter than a tortoise shell. Some turtles can live a year without food. All turtles lay their eggs on land. Play With Me Play With Me and The Quiet Way Home Jesse Bear and Play With Me, Little Rabbit, Corduroy, and
13 Fawn Salamander Chipmunk Tortoise Fawns are baby deer. They are born in May or June. The spotted markings on a fawn help it blend in with the forest. A fawn s mother will stick her white tail up if there is danger so the fawn can follow her easier. Salamanders have slender bodies, four legs, a small head and eyes and a tail. If attacked, their tail can detach and continue to twitch, giving the salamander a chance to escape. They come in a variety of colors and patterns. A chipmunk usually lives by its self in a large burrow that it continually expands for its entire life. Chipmunks are good climbers, but like to stay on the ground. Their burrows have separate compartments for sleeping, storage, and trash. Tortoises are land dwelling animals and have a more rounded shell than turtles. Tortoises cannot swim or float in water.

A ladybug can eat up to 5,000 insects in its lifetime! Worms, also known as night crawlers, are usually seen feeding above ground at night. During the day they burrow in the ground, but can dig down as far as 6 feet. The tunnels that worms dig help bring air into the soil for our gardens. The possum, also called an opossum, is the only marsupial (pouched mammal) found in the US and Canada. They are known to play possum or pretend they are dead when they are threatened. Raccoons are nocturnal animals that live in much of the world. They make their dens in trees or above the ground. A raccoon s front paws have five fingers, similar to a human hand.
