Informational Book

When choosing this informational book I wanted to choose something that I enjoyed so that I as well could learn more about it.  I chose the book Sea Animals because I love going to the beach and I think the animals in the ocean are beautiful. Sea Animals talk about the how the ocean is habitat to many different types of animals. The ocean is so large; animals live different parts of it. Some animals like at the top of the water while others live under rocks at the bottom of the ocean. Animals are not the only living things living in the ocean. There are many different types of plants that live in the ocean as well. While reading Sea Animals, by every picture there is a scale of how big the animal of plant is compared to something such as a person or a ball.

Much like most informational books this was has real pictures taken by professional photographers. When giving true facts about something real pictures are the best for the audience to be able to picture how the author is describing something. The pictures are very bright and they are very eye catching. These illustrations help tell the story because the readers are able to gain information from the pictures as well.

The good thing about informational books is that they are great for many age levels.

The age range for this book is ages 6-8 and the grade level is first grade and up. The students could use this book to do a research project on sea animals. The students could also do a survey on their favorite ocean animal and make a graph out of the data.  A good writing activity the students could do is write about an underwater adventure they would like to take.
