Living and Nonliving Things

There are m an y different kinds of living things all around us: an im als,
plants, you, and me. Living things can breathe air, grow, and change.
They all need food and water.

It's im portant to take care of living things. We can put out food for
a n im a ls. Plants can grow tall to get sunlight. People need to eat and
drink to stay healthy.

It's im portant to look after nonliving things,

too.Toys, bicycles, dolls, and gam es are all
nonliving things. They don't need food or
w ater. They can't grow or breathe. But we
need to take care of them . We see and use
lots of nonliving things every day.
