From School Library Journal

Grade 4-8?A useful exploration of the anatomy of 31 animals, including insects, marine creatures, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, and dinosaurs. Clear, colorful cross-section diagrams with explanatory labels along with brief text that provides scientific classification and other facts reveal nature's complex machinery. Some animals are not easily found elsewhere, such as the mole, beaver, stingray, clam, and flea, and there's a good explanation of how the baby kangaroo fits in its mother's pouch. Ted Dewan's Inside the Whale and Other Animals (Doubleday, 1992) offers similar information for this age group with a touch of humor, but features only 21 animals. Jinny Johnson's Skeletons (Reader's Digest, 1994), while eye-catching and dramatic in its presentation, is not as detailed or as broad in scope as Ruiz's book. A welcome addition for reports as well as for browsing.?Kathleen McCabe, East Meadow Public Library,
