What Do You Do With a Tail Like This? by: Steve Jenkins and Robin Page

I felt like this book was very different from the others that we have read before. The illustrations were done in collage which was new and the book was nonfiction which makes it unlike the other books we have read. I also appreciated this book because of all the wonderful lessons that could be taught from it. This would be a great tool to use with children when they are studying foreshadowing and prediction. I also really love the glossary in the back of the text. This is something that I think kids will enjoy reading because many of the animals in this story are not things that we see in West Texas. I would definitely like to use this book when I am teaching and I think that kids of any age would love it.
