WILD Action News is a series of K-2 reading level chapter books from Rourke Educational Media.
Each book in the series tells the story of a main animal character looking to find a newsworthy 'scoop' while giving interviews and facts about their species and native environment!
Each book in the series tells the story of a main animal character looking to find a newsworthy 'scoop' while giving interviews and facts about their species and native environment!
Each book in the series features a wraparound cover and over 20 interior illustrations ranging from spots to spreads to full-page illustrations.
For this series I was tasked with creating scenes featuring each animal main character in their native environment while giving each animal attributes and mannerisms that would label them as a 'reporter'.
This aspect allowed me to brainstorm creative reporter accessories for each animal such as waterproof ID badges and packs for Capybara and Penguin that live in more aquatic environments.
