Informational/Nonfictional Book

In this book, animal body parts are shown right and left! An arm, a leg, a tail, what does it do and what animal could it be?? It's up to our littles to figure out mystery after mystery!!

Big, vivid illustrations coming from all sides of the page, this book is one of the most fun and engaging for our youngest littles! The drawings all depict parts of animals and make it easier to identify tails, ears, or noses in relation to animals from all over the world !!

This book is great for science!! I would use this book with kindergartners to help them to identify different types of animals. We would learn a little about each animal because the book says what the animal uses that body part for. For example, dogs sniff for food with their noses while elephants use theirs to bathe! I would then start an in class discussion by asking students what their nose does, or what they use their hands for in order to differentiate from the animals.
