Leopards by Kate Rigg is part of her award winning Amazing Animal series and proves that informational texts can be just as captivating as any other genre. My students adore animals and are also eager to learn new facts about some of their favorites. Riggs provides detailed, scientific information in a manner that is digestible for even younger children. We have read this book, and many others by Rigg, in my preschool classroom. Beyond the written information, Riggs provides strikingly beautiful photographs to accompany each page. We have used Leopards for read alouds, animal students, and even quite reading where students can spend time enjoying the pictures. This book is available in ebook format at overdrive.com and some libraries.

It is a good book for a school research project, I used it for our Pre-Exam for informational writing. It was very helpful because there were lots of good facts in it.
