Literary Elements:

Setting-  This book doesn't show any backgrounds, only focuses the pictures of animals. If I have to decide, I'd say nature because there are several animals sitting on the rock.

Characterization- This book doesn't represent a depth of one's character. It just shows the pictures of different animals and their uses of certain body part.

Plot- It doesn't have a plot. It's a guessing book for the children to guess which body part matches an animal. It's an informative for the children to learn about animals and their body parts.

Each animal has its own short description explaining the reasons to have this body part. The authors' goal is to keep the children reading by showing the pictures of animals' body part only. Children need to turn other page to find out which body part belongs to animals.
