Here’s what homeschooling parents are saying about Goofy Gecko:
” . . . a gecko is not just another lizard. To find out what makes a gecko different from others in the lizard family, you will have to buy this Download N Go® study . . .
All of the Download N Go® studies feature printable pages to make a lapbook or keep a notebook devoted to the topic at hand . . . The pages you download not only have all of the pages to print out for making your lapbook, they also include links. The links take you to YouTube videos hosted on the DNG page. There are also links to sites with a lot of interesting information about geckos. You can click on a link, and open a page that is devoted to gecko facts among many others.
If your children are like mine, they love all critters. In this Download N Go®, we learned a lot of facts about geckos, how big they can grow, where they live, and how they are able to walk on the ceiling. This would make a great introduction to unit studies or means of easing back into the school year.”

“This is my first DNG, and I loved it! It’s only a week long, so that really is awesome—it helps to break up the monotony of schooling and gives you something different to do instead of the “same old stuff” as my kids would say!
It is very complete in content and very little preparation was needed. There is a list of books that will go perfectly with this unit study. We found all of the books that we wanted to read at our library, so there is no extra cost! . . .
This is written for K–4, but I think that it is easy to use it for older kids as well! There are many links to coloring pages and some WONDERFUL family ideas at the end of the unit study . . . I hope that you have as much fun as we did!”

“Oh, boy, have my nature lovers had a great time this week! I used this study with two of my children, ages 6 and 8. Both children love nature and animals but lack enthusiasm for the paper-y work of mini books and such. We did this study over three days . . . The three of us sat around our family computer, learning all manner of facts and figures on these creatures. The videos were wonderful! We especially loved the one where we watched the gecko turn from brown to green in real time. We were all amazed. One of my children commented on how wonderfully God created our world . . . I really enjoyed that all of the work and research was done for me. It almost felt too easy! . . . if you’re a planner by nature (like me), you might find yourself out of a job. But don’t worry, you’ll quickly be sidetracked by little ones whose eyes are lit with wonder at our Creator.”
