The book that I have chosen to post this time around is called How Many Ways Can You Catch a Fly?, authored by Steve Jenkins and illustrated by his wife, Robin Page. I found this book while doing research for the author study that I am completing for my final project. This book is an excellent way to teach children about how different animals survive in their own individual habitats. Included are ways that animals use their specialized body parts to find food, eat, hunt, take care of their young, transport themselves, and so much more. This book is appropriate for any grade level. Some of the terms used to describe animal attributes may be a little more advanced for younger readers, but they give the perfect chance for vocabulary enhancement when reading in a group setting with the teacher. It is also excellent for upper elementary students who have an interested in animals and ecology. In addition to the extensive illustrations, there is a section in the back of the book that contains even more information about every single animal mentioned within it. I really enjoyed reading it and am looking forward to discovering more books like it.
