Actual Size

By Steve Jenkins
2004

If you've never seen one of Steve Jenkins books, definitely check them out. They are all wonderful.
I particularly love this one, and I have read it to students from preschool up to 8th grade--seriously, it engages everyone!
Each page introduces an animal or two, or perhaps just part of an animal (giant squid eyeball, for example) in actual size. There is very little text, just a sentence or so plus the height, weight, length, etc.of the featured animal.
At the back of the book , you can see full-body pictures of each animal and read a little more about each one.
This is a perfect read-aloud for any age group!
