This book is full of interesting facts all about kangaroos, opossums, sugar gliders, and many more marsupials! This book is all about those mammals who carry their offspring in pouches and that's where they live for a good while. This book features many captivating images of each animal it is speaking about, and most are close-ups of these adorable critters! I think children interested in these little animals would love this book. It also has little facts about the animals beside almost every picture!
Evaluation:
I really enjoyed this book, but I didn't like it quite as much as my kitty book! I think that the target age for this would be middle grade, no doubt in my mind. The reason I believed this is because the book is laid out more for the older children, the ones who can stay focused on a big paragraph with few pop-ups and facts throughout the book. That's exactly what this book has! It's cute, of course. It has some really beautiful and simple pictures of each animal it is focusing on for each set of pages, and all the pictures are close-up and it's amazing how anyone took those pictures. I think middle grade would be able to keep up with the vocabulary in this book a bit easier than elementary children would. I like that in each page, they have a certain sentence in the paragraph bolded and bigger than the rest. It is almost like a more important part of the paragraph or any interesting fact that the reader should really be paying attention to. I think the little facts in each corner of the picture are interesting too and will keep the reader on their toes to find out more.
Mischief Managed.
