Ways to use this collection
Tiger, lion, elephant, giraffe, panda, koala, kangaroo and zebra give eight animals with a color reference and a line drawing each, 16 pages in all. Each has a trait that is easy to spot, such as stripes, a long neck, big ears or a pouch, so children can look closely at how an animal is built as they color, and the set can open a conversation about animals seen at the zoo.
Activity ideas
- Find the colors of the tiger's and the zebra's stripes in the reference pages and copy them, then talk about how the two kinds of stripes differ.
- Who is in the kangaroo's pouch? Have children draw a baby kangaroo beside the page, and ask what leaves a koala might eat as the story continues.
- Which of the eight is the tallest? Let children predict the order and line up the pages, then check with a picture book or a video.
Tip Offer striped animals like the tiger and zebra to ages 5 and up, and the plainer elephant and lion to ages 3 to 4 first.
