Peck Slither and Slide

This guessing-game picture book will stretch the vocabularies of students and engage your entire class. Here’s how it works: On one page you’ll find a bold verb like “swing” with an illustration showing just part of an animal (for a hint). On the next page, you’ll find the animal itself — in this case, an ape. MacDonald’s paint-and-collage illustrations are wonderful and particularly good at showing animals in motion. At the end of the book are several pages of “animal facts.”
