Trickiest: 19 Sneaky Animals by Steve Jenkins - ADVISABLE

Jenkins, Steve  Trickiest: 19 Sneaky Animals PICTURE BOOK Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2017.  $14.99  Content: G.  

This book contains 19 unique animals and the qualities that make them tricky.  There are animals that use their wily ways to fend of predators and other animals that have tricks that help them catch their prey.  

Each animal has an illustration, a comparison and shows where they live on the map.  The paragraph explaining what makes the animal tricky is 5-6 sentences long, but uses simple vocabulary that is easy to understand.  Although this book is the size of an early reader, there is a lot of text for a beginning reader so it’s geared more towards a 2nd-3rd grader.  

EL (K-3) – ADVISABLE.  Reviewer, C. Peterson.
