Review

Earth is a spectacular, constantly changing planet with diverse, powerful, and weird life-forms. The proof can be seen in these attractive, slim paperbacks in the Visual Explorers series. As the series name suggests, high-quality color photographs drive the interest while short text boxes introduce key concepts and supportive facts in double-page spreads. Predators concentrates on 14 predators, from the predictable African lion, crocodile, and rattlesnake to the lesser-known Komodo dragon, golden eagle, and praying mantis. Each spread relates their special hunting skills. Visually rewarding for reluctant readers.
Booklist

This series reveals Earths wonders to inquisitive readers, covering topics from acid rain to slime molds in three wildly colorful and glossy, slim paperbacks. The visuals are the strength of this set and will especially appeal to reluctant readers.
