“Think about what a strange feat Nike pulled off with this product. Nike took a non-screen-based, often anti-social, occasionally loathed or feared activity-running-and turned it into a screen-supported social game.

I would use this in my classroom to talk about animals in a fun way
pickI loved how interactive this book was. It‘s a fun game while also gaining new information
I really enjoyed reading this book! I think that this book does a great job at providing children with a framework on what makes up an animal. This book would be very engaging for children because it includes many in depth pictures to describe each animal. I think that this book would be great to use for young children, because it allows them to guess throughout the book and to make connections.
pickWho Am I? Was published in 2017. This book provides a thrilling and fun outline highlighting important facts on animals. Each page starts with facts on what features the animal has, before defining what animal it really is. The book provides multiple different animals, no matter the species or the habitat they live in.
