Feb 25, Madisen Justesen rated it it was amazing Shelves: animal-books. The story line for Who id the beast? It doesn't matter what they look like. All the other animals were afraid of the tiger but the tiger did not want to hurt anyone. The animals were judging him for his appearance. The tiger points out that he is similar to all of the other animals.

The message of Who is the Beast? A The story line for Who id the beast? Accept everyone for who they are not what they look like. I really loved this book because of its message. The beast being described through the book is a tiger. On each page the reader is given clues as what animal the beast is and the book finishes with 'we are all beasts - you and me'.

The langue is simple and text is large and clear with large and colourful illustrations to support the text. This book has little writing and would be great to promote inclusion for SEN or EAL children because the pictures clearly support the text.

The beast being drawn as a parallel to humans means the book would b The beast being described through the book is a tiger. The beast being drawn as a parallel to humans means the book would be a good stimulus for philosophical discussions.

The book was in no way remarkable but would be good for specific purposes. The format of Who is the Beast? It's a really interesting way to bring up similarities or unfair judgments. I will say, however, that reading it out loud to young children made me aware that it's not always clear who is speaking. The art reminds me of Tiger in a Tropical Storm, which is really what me to buy this book.

This is a great book for teaching hypothesis, and inquiry. In the book the tiger is very curious about a beast he keeps hearing about and it turns out it is him. It goes through several of his characteristics until he is fully escrowed, just like collecting evidence in an experiment. You could also use it in conjunction with a lesson on animal characteristics. If you covered up the pictures it would also be great for imagery. Grades: K-3 science inquiry, questioning, hypothesis, curiosity.

Aug 27, Jenna Arntz rated it liked it Shelves: picture-books , animals. This book was a very good read. I loved the vivid colors in the illustrations and also the message that the story sent.

At first everyone will assume that the tiger is the beast, but throughout the story you learn that anyone can be the beast. I would use this book in lower elementary grades.

I think this will be useful when teaching children about making assumptions and their reasoning behind them. There are no discussion topics on this book yet.

Without pondering fear one cannot grasp the core essence of the philosophical question of difference, because fear is often the main motivation behind the creation and perception of difference.

Fear, acting as a natural reaction to the unknown, has programmed the individual to perceive the unfamiliar as an Other, Beast, etc.

It is fundamentally important to the discussion to make the tie between fear, irrationality, and emotion. Fear is an emotion first and foremost, and is therefore not always susceptible to logic and rational argument. Once fear has dispelled its inherently defensive attitude, the individual is open to seeing the world anew.

With renewed perception the groundwork for tolerance and understanding is laid; and in removing fear, possibilities for growth abound.
