This was a very informative book on the difference between certain animals. I learned new information that I did not know about some of these animals. The author uses words that young readers will be able to pronounce and understand. The illustrator paints lifelike portraits of each animals. This would be a great book to read to students when discussing animals and thier habitats.

This is an informative book that compares two animals and compares their differences and similarities. The one I found the most interesting was the comparison between zebras and okapis. Okapis are not related to zebras at all! The first idea that popped in my mind was using this book with Venn diagrams. This will incorporate math into a science reading. I could also discuss the animal classification of each one discussed.
