Genre Evaluation:
This book is in the category of non-fiction. The information in this book is true and is simplified for young readers to understand it. It can also be classified as a picture book because the pictures help tell the story.
Classroom Activities:
1. Have the students to demonstrate how the animal moves. This will promote exercise among the students for health.

Personal Comments:
I think this book is very low level but age appropriate for preschoolers up to first grade. I think that the pictures will be more exciting then the actual text. This is my least favorite book that I read, but one of the most important for children.
