-Then present the implications of your claim(s).
+This presentation of the book is exciting for children. Each page gives a different clue as to who the culprit could be and it would keep young kids engaged and hanging at the edge of their seats. It also deals with animals, which many kids love.
-Next, give specific examples from the text as evidence to support your claim while explaining how the author has developed or “crafted’ this element.
+For an example, on Kayla's way to school, she spots fat cat and confronts it. This has little kids believing that the fat cat did it. But then on the next page the cat says he didn't do it, so the kids reading the story start changing their minds on who could have done it, and this gets the readers very much engaged.
 Provide one or two claims about this element.
-  - illustrations
