On the introductory page, the author discusses the function of locomotory physical features of different faunas. Some creatures are characterized by legs, fins, wings, tentacles to locomote through walking, leaping, climbing swimming etc. The most interesting portion is the octopus’s locomotion through their eight legs on the sea floor.
I prefer this book for the sixth graders especially because of how interesting and informative. For example, they can understand how vampire bats use their wings to climb on a cow and drink blood. Students will learn about the sea pig, fishing spider, red-lipped batfish, red-kangaroo, and millipedes.
The physical and behavioral features of an Agana is really exciting to learn such as its behavior and how it leaps when close to its prey. I am sure my students will enjoy when they will read about how a Japanese crowned crane impresses its mate by springing into the air. The objectives of this book are the functions of locomotory organs of different animals like Indian elephant, sea butterfly, three-bed sloth, marine iguana, cormorant, etc. I favor connecting this book with the theory of evolution and adaptation of different animals.
This book contains many verbal vocabulary words like scrambling, scurrying, and slithering. The locomotory function of animals like hoatzin, black rat snake, mudskipper, rat terrier, coconut crab all use climbing, slithering, chasing, jumping, but their morphological locomotory features are different. I like to use the words homologous and analogous for each species so students can inquire and research on the evolutionary theory that each species passes through and what their classification of the hierarchy is according to the Carolus Linnaeus nomenclature.
