Who Would Win book covers

Topic: Information Text

The “Who Would Win…” books are interesting in themselves since they present lots of information on the two animals presented when competing with each other.

The outcome is an evaluation of evidence—some descriptive, some cause/effect, some problem/solution—that helps the reader to form an opinion as to: Who would win, it the two were opposing each other in the wild.

Even though the information could be presented in a science text book, the presentation of facts is consolidated by pictures, embedded boxes such as Fun Facts and Did You Know? Structurally, the pages referring to contrasts between the animals are opposite each other, allowing the reader, or listener, to view both animals as descriptive characteristics are presented.
