Aminal

Summary: wonderful illustrations
Review: My children loved this book. Now I use it in my classroom when we do descriptive writing. I have a couple of Aminals of my own, half the class looks at them and describes them to a partner who draws what they must look like. Just like in the story, it's amazing to compare the imaginative concept to the real aminal. This story teaches so much about human nature in such a wonderful, imaginative way.

Summary: Your childs imagination soars on overtime!
Review: This is a great childrens book to inspire the young childs imagination. I have used this book many times in the classroom. The response on the childrens faces as they imagine what he (The Aminal) looks like, is wonderful. You can almost see their brains working on overtime in the imagination zone. One thing I usally do just before The Aminals looks are revealed is stop the story and have the children draw a picture of what they think The Aminal looks like. The response is great! They want to tell you why they think he looks like their drawing and usally about what they remember of the story. This is a great story for building comprehension skills and teaching children about rumors and gossip. An amazing surprise is awaiting you and your child at the end of The Aminal.
