About this title

From School Library Journal

K-Gr 1-Each spread in this set includes a close-up color photograph and one or two sentences of accompanying text. The first several pages explain the key characteristics of the featured group. For example, Amphibian states, "Most amphibians have wet skin" and Fish says, "All fish live in water. Fish are covered in scales." The remaining pages give examples of different creatures in the subject category. All the books end abruptly with no conclusions. The "Words to Know" sections may confuse children; rather than defining words, they simply include zoomed-in shots of the pictures that correspond with the pages where the words can be found. Stick with Lerner's "Lightning Bolt Books: Meet the Animal Groups" series (2009) for a better beginning-reader set.α(c) Copyright 2011.
