Reviews Customer Booksource Emma Williams, Collection Development Specialist at Booksource Star Star Star Star Star 3/25/2013 3:15:58 PMSteve Jenkins’ signature collage-style artwork depicts animal siblings with a heading and a slogan for each in this nonfiction picture book. The heading for the New Mexico whiptail lizards is “Sisters.” The slogan is, “Girls rule!” Did you know that all whiptales are female and that all whiptails in a community are identical clones of one another? A paragraph of fascinating information about each animal is also included. Twenty-one different animal brothers and sisters are introduced, and animal fact end pages describe the size and diet of each animal. Classroom Idea: This book screams for an additional research project! I found myself Googling each animal just to see a real-life photo. Create a website research project that allows students to browse short web articles about each animal. Have each student choose an animal, and illustrate the new fact that they learned in a drawing. Later, after the drawing is finished have them go back and describe what their drawing depicts. Icon Post Your Review
