Summary:

This book is all about the biggest, smallest, strongest, longest, fastest, slowest, lightest, heaviest, and tallest. Each page contains an animal that is the "est", as well as a fact about their "est" quality. For example, the snail page has a picture of a snail, a sentence saying that it is the slowest, and in smaller print it tells how far a snail can travel in a minute. The last page contains a more detailed chart of the animal, it's record, size, diet, and range.

Who would benefit from reading this book?

I think that anyone who would like to learn more about animals would benefit from reading this book. It's a book that is easy to read from, and fun to learn from. It's interesting to see the pictures with the animals and their records.

What problems/conflicts could this book possibly create?

I don't think this book could create any kind of problems. It's just a book about different animals and interesting facts about them.

My Reaction:

I thought this was a cool book. I like it when books compare different things in a unique way like this. I liked how in the corner where it has an extension of the record fact, it also has a silhouette of the animal compared to a human or a human body part. I really liked that because it helps you really see just how big, small, long, or tall an animal really is.
