2003, by Steve Jenkins & Robin Page Caldecott Honor (2004), Charlotte Zolotow Award Nominee for Highly Commended Title (2004) What Do You Do With A Tail Like This? is a nonfiction picturebook exploring different things animals can do with their noses, ears, tails, eyes, mouths, and feet. From a pelican to a platypus, a yellow-winged bat to a star-nosed mole, and a water strider to a bald eagle, young students can discover amazing things animals can do with their bodies. With informative and interesting content, What Do You Do With A Tail Like This? will appeal to a wide range of young students, especially those who love animals. What really makes this book stand out are the illustrations: made from layered pieces of paper, they have incredible dimension and texture, but are still realistic (note: this book was a Caldecott Honor book in 2004). What Do You Do With A Tail Like This? would be a great way to teach students (~K-2nd grade) about animals and what they do, and could lead to a research project. It would also be a prompt for an art project mimicking the book's art style. For younger students (3-5 years old), it would be a great introduction to animals, as well as a supplement to a lesson on the five senses (all five senses are represented in this book). Highly recommended for every classroom! Resources:
