What If? ... Books That Explore Animal Scenarios

Help me give my students books about animals that explore "What If?" scenarios.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Shank's classroom raised $159

My Project

My students will love exploring this imaginative series that challenges them to consider what life would be like with animal eyes, ears, and more.

The series is filled with outrageous and hilarious illustrations making it the perfect introduction to animal biology lesson plans.

Young readers will love tapping their creativity and imagination to understand what life would be like if one day they looked in the mirror and saw they had an elephant trunk instead of a cute little nose, a jack rabbit’s ears instead of their own, or the eyes of a colossal squid. And with each turn of the page, students will learn why they have what they have and why those parts are just right for them.
