Summary: The book gives information about different animals and what they can do with their noses, ears, tails, eyes, mouths, and feet. It shows the reader how they all use these things in very different ways. In the back of the book you can read more about all the animals as well as full pictures of each one.
I would use this book to supplement a science unit to get the students excited about the lesson. I would also address different types of art because of the pictures made out of colorful cut and torn paper. I could supplement the book by allowing the students to pick and animal and make it out of cut or torn colored paper and write things that the animals do that is unique. Each student could present it to the class.
