Reading Journal: What Do you Do With a Tail Like This?

What Do you Do With a Tail Like This? by Steve Jenkins & Robin Page

This book shows several animals’ characteristics categorized by body part. On the first page, this book shows only body parts and makes children guess which animal it is. The next page reveals the animals’ identity and explains the special features of the body parts from the previous page. From this book, I also learned several interesting facts about animals which I had not known before. The use of collage makes this book more attractive and lifelike in expressing animals’ characteristics. Most children might love this book because this book would enhance children’s curiosity related to animals. Also, this book provides more information in a glossary, and I believe this can compensate children’s remaining curiosity.
