With very simple text format, Ms. Stockdale focuses on animals who possess spots. The animal noun is always proceeded by a descriptive adjective (charging cheetahs, creeping slugs, scouting fish) so this book would be a good one to use as a mentor text for descriptive writing.
In the back, Ms. Stockdale provides more details about each of the featured animals-including their real name and on which continent you would find the them. Another fun activity is a spot identification "game" where she has rectangles full of spots where the reader must identify to which creature it belongs.
