Reviews

Grade 2-4 A new ``Guinness record'' type of book for younger audiences by the authors of The Big Book of Animal Records (Putnam, 1985). Clear, succinct writing in short paragraphs provides plenty of information on food, homes, rest and play, family life, and communication. All of it is easily accessible through the table of contents or the index. Loads of full-color drawings are realistic but done with just enough whimsy to catch young readers' attention. This is not a research book, but a book that children will share by reading sections to one another. It's the next step after Animals Do the Strangest Things (Random, 1965) by Leonora & Arthur Hornblow. Fun and fascinating. Elisabeth LeBris, Kenilworth Public School System, Ill.
