Picture Books - Melanie Wright

I absolutely loved these two picture books! What Do You Do With a Tail Like This? was so informative and fun. The illustrations were cute also. I really liked how the book was set up so that students can guess which part belongs to what animal. Children can learn so much about different animals from this book. I also really like the extra information in the back of the book. Moses: When Harriet Tubman Led Her People to Freedom was beautiful. The illustrations were amazing and so detailed. What a great way to introduce the topic of slavery to your classroom. I liked how the foreward at the beginning explained what slavery is. This is really beneficial for younger grades who have never heard of slavery. I also thought the author's note in the back contained great and useful information about Harriet Tubman. I also liked the different text throughout the book. This made it easy to tell the difference between Harriet and God's dialogue. These were by far some of the best picture books I've ever read.
