How the lesson starts: Compare Pictures and Words in Information Text

Luna's nature book
Hi! This is Luna the llama. Luna makes a nature book. She writes words. She snaps pictures. Words tell some things. Pictures show other things!
What the picture shows
Luna's words say, a frog sits. It likes bugs. Now look at the picture. The frog is green. It sits on a mushroom! Did the words say green? No. Mushroom? No. Only the picture tells us that!
Let's count the ducks
Luna writes, some ducks swim. How many ducks? The words just say some. Look at the picture. One, two, three, four. Four ducks! Only the picture tells how many. Watch out. They are ducks? The words say that too.
