BLOG C: Non-Fiction
Reference Book: Tonkin, R 2006, Leaf Litter: Exploring the Mysteries of a Hidden World, HarperCollinsPublishers, Australia.
Topic important-environment.
Large book–ideal for sharing in a group.
Beautifully illustrated–very appealing-it ‘talks’ to you-would make a child to ‘want’ to touch.
Lift up flaps- well concealed.
Informative.
Attention to detail-snake eating mouse-young mouse leaving nest about to brush against redback spider-makes you want to wait and see if mouse gets bitten(p17).
Language genre is child-friendly - ‘On a leaf nearby, a fly sucks up the huntsman’s dung….”(p25).
Includes ‘Things to Find’ section (with page numbers).
Includes ‘user-friendly’ Glossary of Terms.
A real ‘learning’ book but also enjoyment.
Sturdy book, stitch-bound, hard cover.
Disadvantage-no index (although has Glossary of Terms).
