About this title

Reviews

Gr 3-5-Though not terrifically exciting, each book introduces the featured animal with well-organized information and photos that have solid visual appeal. Standard areas of habitat, food, life cycles, and conservation are covered. A page on "history" offers information not typically included in similar series, although the use of a range map from the past, without a current version as well, may confuse readers. Simple, direct words provide plenty of information, though they don't always flow smoothly. Color photos include spreads along with spot images, with a good mixture of activities and behaviors. A spread on "features," with labels and captions, works especially well. Sections on eating are disappointing, as the photos only show the prey, with no sign of a feline predator. Closing materials include a quiz with answers provided and activities involving creating charts and drawing pictures that are unlikely to engage most readers.α(c) Copyright 2014.
