Reviewed by Horn Book Guide Reviews (Horn Book Guide Reviews 2003 Fall) Cut-paper collages of animals and close-ups of their noses, ears, tails, eyes, mouths, and feet set against white backgrounds invite readers to think about animal adaptations. Unifying questions focus on the part and its purpose (""What would you do with feet like these?""); the whole animal is shown on the next page with an explanation of how the part is used. Information at the back of the book adds details on each animal. Copyright 2003 Horn Book Guide Reviews |
Reviewed by Publishers Weekly Reviews (PW Reviews 2003 March #4) Steve Jenkins contributes another artistically wrought, imaginatively conceived look at the natural world. What Do You Do with a Tail Like This? by Jenkins and wife Robin Page, stages a guessing game. Illustrated with Jenkins's trademark cut-paper art, one spread will show animals' tails (or noses, ears, etc.) as text asks variations of the titular question; turn the page, and the whole bodies of the animals are shown as answers are supplied ("If you're a lizard, you break off your tail to get away"; "If you're a scorpion, your tail can give a nasty sting"). Four pages of illustrated endnotes deliver meaty profiles of the 30 featured creatures. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information. |
Reviewed by School Library Journal Reviews (SLJ Reviews 2003 March) K-Gr 4-Jenkins, this time in collaboration with his wife, has created yet another eye-opening book. Children will learn that lizards can completely break off their tail as a defense and that it will grow back. And, they'll find out that crickets' ears are on their knees. Most fish have two eyes, but some have four, the better to see above and below the water at the same time. These are just a few of the fascinating facts of nature dangled out front to draw readers into this beautifully illustrated book. On each spread, five different animals' tails, ears, eyes, or other body parts, done in vibrant cut-paper collage, appear with a simple question ("What do you do with a- like this?"). The next spread shows the five creatures in their entirety and offers a brief explanation. For example, "If you're an elephant, you use your nose to give yourself a bath." The back pages offer more information for older or more curious readers. This is a great book for sharing one-on-one or with a group.-Wanda Meyers-Hines, Ridgecrest Elementary School, Huntsville, AL Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information. |
Reviewed by School Library Journal Reviews (SLJ Reviews 2004 October) K-Gr 4-Colorful cut-paper collages provide glimpses of the noses, ears, tails, eyes, mouths, and feet of different creatures, showing that each one uses these body parts in a unique and fascinating manner. Combining a guessing game with factual tidbits, the text offers an attention-grabbing introduction to animal physiology. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information. |
