Pull down the flaps to find out what animals are eating for lunch, and learn what kinds of messes they make while chowing on chow. Bold, colorful illustrations make this book relatable for youngsters.
I'm pretty sure I could work this lift-the-flap book of different animals and the foods they eat. It's cute enough (I like how each one is covering its mouth) and I think toddlers would enjoy it. Especially the last part. I may leave off some of the text, or read snippets of it.
3/18/10 One that I didn't think would read well actually turned out quite well with both groups.
3/25/10 This one worked out even better with the smaller downtown groups. The second group was so small, I was able to have them come up and lift the flaps themselves, which I know they enjoyed. They also were more engaged by calling out the animals themselves and making the corresponding noises without me even asking.
The genre of this book is children's picture books. In this story the author talks about what different animals eat. Also the author describes different things about each animal. The use of this book in an elementary classroom is for students to learn the different types of animals and what they eat. Also students can learn that not all animals are the same and not all animals eat the same food to survive. I chose this book because when I opened the book I saw all these different types of animals and you were able to open flaps and see what the different animals are eating.
