Recensioner
(89 pages) This book is about all kinds of animals from all over the world that are venomous. It goes into detail about snakes, spiders, scorpions and even into things like birds. I think that this book would be good at Middle Ages, a little older but not yet into middle school age, as it is a lot longer. I think that it would be a good read aloud book, only if you break it into sections as it is pretty long.
Super interesting book! Great visuals. I think that this would be a huge hit in 3rd-5th grade!
Some of these poem/reverso combinations are awesome, but some don't work as well. The illustrations are wonderful. This could certainly inspire and challenge young poets to work on their craft!

2.This book goes through the ups and downs for dogs in one day. It explains what it feels like to be happy and sad in a day.
3.I didn't really like this book too much because it is advertised as an inclusive book but honestly really isn't inclusive. Yeah one of the secondary characters is a kid in a wheelchair but it really isn't all that inclusive.
