AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

This book uses the tracks of animals to create a guessing game of a text. One page asks which animal makes the tracks illustrated and the next page answers. There is a guide at the end of the book that explains more about each animals’ tracks. 

I don’t find the illustrations of this text particularly crafty, but there is a lot of educational value in this fun book. This could be used in a nature unit or even as a craft project involving recreating track patterns.
