I chose this book because my son loves all informational books. He is definitely a book worm. He told me that he came across this book when researching for a paper. He said it had some great pictures in it that my students would really enjoy! This an informational text all about tigers which are the world's largest cats. This book tells every bit of information you would ever want to know about tigers. It is by far one of the best nonfiction books I have come across. 

    This book is put together using pictures taken by professionals. The book is put together just like any informational book. There are captions to go along with the pictures. There is also a glossary in the back. The pictures are large enough to use in a whole group setting unlike the other informational books I have wrote about. The medium used is pictures and text. 

    This book would be appropriate for children from about five to nine. This book would work well when teaching about wild animals in a science lesson. Teachers could also use this text when teaching about informational text. Teachers could point out the glossary and captions in the text so that the students can learn to distinguish between fiction and nonfiction. Teachers could also use this text when teaching language arts. Students could listen as the teacher reads aloud and then the students would be expected to write a shout paragraph about the content covered. This book has not won any awards.
