Editorial Reviews

K-Gr 2—Clear photographs and simple descriptions convey a variety of animal features. Large type and short, direct sentences make facts accessible to new readers, but the level of information is limited in some cases, focusing on the appearance of the appendage with little or nothing about the ways animals use them. For example, Animal Horns does not describe how horns are used; Animal Noses only mentions smell. Photographs feature close-ups and full-body views, usually with captions to identify the relevant body part, such as the snake's "split tongue" and the spines of a porcupine. The selection of animals accentuates the diversity within each topic. Animal Legs, for example, jumps neatly from a giraffe to a centipede to a dog's paw with each turn of the page. Some of the featured animals are not identified, including some that will be unfamiliar to most young readers, such as the star-nosed mole. VERDICT Strong visuals with text that falls short in some instances.
