Genre: Non-Fiction
Awards: N/A
Summary: This is an informational book about multiple kinds of animals. The book first starts with a question for each animal and then responds to the question with a answer. Some of the animals that are discussed is the zebra, flamingo, panda, polar bear, tiger, and many more.
Prompt Questions:
What is your favorite animal?
Would a panda be an herbivore or a carnivore?
What do you think animals have stripes? How can stripes help these animals survive?
Name one animal that was discussed in the book? (after the book has been read)
Critique: This book is a very simple book that covers vague information about certain animals. Some facts are useful, whereas, others are useless. I would only recommend this book to be an independent reading book because of the lack of useful information it provides.
Activity:
Compare and Contrast Venn Diagram - The students will draw two intersecting circles and label each side the animal of their choice based on the reading. In the center they are to state how the two animals are alike. On the sides, they are to list any information about the animals.

Type: Nonfiction
Awards: None
Summary: This book goes through animals that are wild and gives facts of each one. This book also provides questions which can give me prompts.
Critique: This book is good for those who want to know more about animals.
Prompts: Some of the prompts provided are What do pandas munch? Does a tiger need stripes? What do trunks do? So this helps ask students if they know about these animals and the text will have the answers.
Elements: I can use this book to introduce to young children how to do basic research.

Elliot is really into wildlife and we’ve taken a few trips to the zoo, so he loves this book with photographs of animals. He has a set of realistic Safari animals, so we match them up with the corresponding pages, such as the gorilla, giraffe, bear, and elephant. He is obsessed with the page that has a baby gorilla and orangutan and will want to stay on that page for a long time 😂

March 22, 2019This book show a lot of different kinds of wild animals and interesting facts about them.
I loved how this book showed many different animals that children do not see on a regular bases. It was a great visual for the kids to learn about the animals and also see a picture of them. The facts that were in the book were very interesting and I even learned some things in the book. This book is great for animal lovers and kids who have been to the zoo before.
I would definitely keep this book in my classroom and would have the kids read it and look at the pictures on their own as well and I would read it to them. I would use this book when learning about animals and for an activity, I would ask the kids to tell me about any of the animals in book that they might have seen before. I would also have them choose their favorite in the book to draw for me to hang on the wall.
