About the Author:

From Booklist:

The books in the Amazing Animals series convey basic information in terse, straightforward sentences, but they dazzle when it comes to the full-page (and large pages at that), dynamically colored photographs of animals in their native habitats. One of the nicest features of these books is that each ends with a brief, indigenous tale about how the animal came to have a certain characteristic—in Penguins, readers encounter a South American legend that explains how emperor penguins got so big. Select words are defined throughout, and a perfunctory list of additional resources concludes each spaciously designed title, which will painlessly introduce children to some reliable mainstays in the animal world. Grades K-2. --Ian Chipman
