Reviews

This offering from the Pebble Plus: African Animals series, part of the publisher's line of slightly oversize books designed for group sharing, introduces these small burrowing mongoose relatives to young audiences. Using a limited vocabulary that includes subject-specific terms, Rake describes the habitat, body, diet, and behaviors of this southern African creature. Crisp, close-up photos, many featuring meerkats perched on their hind legs and seemingly mugging for the camera, will intrigue young readers and help to clarify their understanding of the succinct text. In addition, endmatter that includes a table of contents, glossary, and list of further resources makes this an ideal choice for introducing research skills. Share this book with meerkats’ many fans, who may have first encountered these appealing critters in The Lion King or in Animal Planet’s popular documentary series, Meerkat Manor. Preschool-Grade 2. --Kay Weisman
