Animals Animals
AUTHOR/ILLUSTRATOR: Eric Carle/ Eric Carle
PUBLISHER: Paw Prints PUBLICATION DATE: April 9, 2009
GENRE: Poetry READING LEVEL: 3rd-5th grade
BRIEF OVERVIEW: In this book many different poems are put together
that talk about many different animals. Illustrations of the animals are shown,
as well as what some of them do, where the animals live, and what the animals
eat. This book discusses over fifty different types of animals and includes
amazing illustrations of them all. This book also focuses on the sounds
particular animals make and truly is a phenomenal book.
INTEGRATED ACTIVITY: After this poem is read the teacher will review with
the students that alligators eat small fish and live in the water. The children
will then be given construction paper and crayons. They will be told to draw a
picture of the alligator that was talked about in the story and to draw what
they heard and observed through the illustration shown in the book. This image
will be drawn to reflect the illustration the students observed when the poem
was shown and read to them. This will reinforce students’ knowledge of what an
alligator looks like, where an alligator lives, and what an alligator eats.
When drawings are complete the students who volunteer will share their picture
with the class and then talk about a time they have seen an alligator before in
real life and where they saw the alligator.
