L.     Brief summary: What Do You Do With a Tail Like This? Is a fascinating book.  The book starts by telling us that every animal uses their body in different ways.  The book starts out with the nose, asking what do these animals do with the nose, followed by ears, tails, eyes, feet, and mouths. The book finishes with a description of all the animals listed in the book, giving facts about where they live and what they do in their habitat.
M.   Description of how you would use the book with students: I could use this book as a tool for prediction.  Each section starts with a question, what do you do with… and it has photos of  animal parts, the students can guess what each part belongs to each animal and what they can do with it. Also it can be used when doing an animal lesson or a lesson about body parts.
