Next book up is called Spectacular Spots and this is by Susan Stockdale. Susan writes wonderful, beautiful rhyming books and the paintings she creates to go with them are ones just to gaze at and fall into. They're beautiful. And this is no different. In this book, obviously by it's title Spectacular Spots, we're looking at animals with spots. And that includes dozing hogs, dashing horses, clinging frogs. You're hearing all of these mighty verbs, right? All of these really great words that Susan has chosen to describe the animals. You see spots that are round, spots that are kind of funny shaped. And there's even some spots on animals that you might not have anticipated. Like, I don't relate spots with owls. I don't relate spots with horses. And yet when we look closely there is that. I like that Susan, in the back of her book, included sort of a summary of all of the different animals, a little bit more information about each animal and its spots and how it uses its spots to protect itself in nature or to send messages to mates, to send messages to predators, to send messages. It's really neat how nature uses spots and I think that Susan Stockdale has shared that very well, very effectively with readers.
