Why You'll Love It:
- The kids at my school LOVE Steve Jenkins. Seriously. I can't keep his books on the shelves. They love the collage illustrations and all the funky facts in each of Jenkins' books.
- The Q & A-style interview with 25 unique animals offer up their personal insights and lend themselves to so many teachable moments as a mentor text.
- The short text responses make this book a quick read aloud that keeps kiddos engaged.
Great for K-grade 3...and here's a discussion & activity guide with Common Core alignment.
What Else You Should Read:
