Review:

Yes, Hall does hit on all the characteristics that make an animal a mammal, but these facts are presented in a way that allows children to compare and contrast various mammal species. - Kirkus Reviews

This book is packed with information written in easy-to-understand language that is perfect for preschoolers and kindergarteners. It talks about the important features that make an animal a mammal: breathing air, having a spine, being warm blooded, having hair or fur, giving birth to live babies, and more. - San Francisco Book Review

Filled with stunning action color photos of different mammals to teach common characteristics of mammals, such as a spine that connects all the way from the skull to the tail. - Midwest Book Review
