Synopsis
Animals that glow, that make nests from spit, that change shape and color, that ooze thick, gooey slime: How strange! Meet some creatures that have unique and unusual talents. From the glass frog with a see-through body to a fish that happily hides inside a deadly plant, every living thing shown proves that truth is stranger than fiction!

From Booklist
The American Museum of Natural History leveled readers are designed to more specifically tailor reading material to the skill set of emergent readers. This book, at level 2, builds reading confidence with simple sentence structures. Though not explicitly stated in the text, the book is arranged into broadly generalized categories including symbiotic relationships, reproductive oddities, defensive adaptations, and bizarre ways of procuring food. The majority of animals included are insects, amphibians, and ocean life, but they represent a variety of physical exceptionalities, such as the archerfish’s ability to shoot its prey with water, or the spittlebug’s use of its own saliva to build its nest, that will delight kids with their weirdness. Full-color photographs are the perfect support for new readers, providing instant visual clues and context for unfamiliar words. Repetition of common words coupled with a page-turning topic make this an appropriate choice for those new to independent reading. Grades 1-3. --Erin Anderson
