Steve Jenkin's What Do You Do With A Tail Like This? is a creative and engaging book that is all about learning and discovering new things. This Caldecott Medal Honor winner is carefully and beautifully illustrated and is quite amazing to see. It provides valuable facts about animals and their unique attributes and behaviors. The book also includes a section in the back where there are more details about each animal.
This book is extremely educational for children. It is an excellent tool to help your child identify different body parts. As you read this with your child, you can both point to the different animals and say the name of everything in the pictures. The book also will introduce your little one to all sorts of new animals that they didn't even know existed.
My nephew Michael loves animals of all kinds and really enjoyed this book. He learned about a whole new set of animals and could not believe some of the characteristics that the animals had. He particularly liked the fact that the archerfish squirts water out of its mouth to shoot down bugs that are on the surface of the water. I had to follow that up with letting him know that he should not spit water at his food. Everyone involved will learn something new and exciting from this incredible book.
