review 1: Fabulous collage illustrations show unusual animals as they explain the purposes of their unique features. Each page begins with a question posed to an animal who explains the purpose. This book is both humorous and informational. Maps show the habitat of each animal with information about their diet and size. The book also includes references and a website with additional information about the creation of the book.
review 2: Steve Jenkins and Robin Page may just be some of my new favorite authors. As all of Jenkins' books are beautifully illustrated, this one is remarkably done. The students in my class absolutely loved this book! I really like the perspective that this text takes makes it highly intriguing the reader. It makes the reader think about the ... morepicture and listen to the facts to figure out why the animal looks the way they do. The content of the book is also very interesting and for my 2nd grade students "very cool". I have to say I learned a lot by reading this story too! Great book and I can't wait to make it a part of my classroom. less
