Critique:
Genre: This book is a great example of an informational book because it tells information about all different types of roots and helps kids to see that through ways that will make sense to them. The book is factual but does not tell a story to describe roots like some informational books do.
Illustrations: The illustrations are photographs of different roots. Each photograph describes the text so that the reader can see in real life what the text is talking about. The pictures help so that the reader makes the connection between what the roots look like in real life, and how the book is describing them. ( )
