What a great way to get children interested in studying animals. It also provides children with a chance to look at the world from different perspectives. Looking at the illustrations made of cut-paper collage students can learn about how animals have similar parts and how the animals use them. The author definitely made me wonder and guess which part will belong to which animals on the next page, where the secret will be revealed.
I would first read the book aloud to the students. Then we would research the animals in the book. We would discuss how people and animals use various body parts. I would have students show where each animal lives on the globe. We would try to determine which animal in the book has the most unusual part and then make the collage of the various animal parts.
