Animal Superstars (National Geographic Chapters Series)

by Aline Alexander Newman

Overview

This entertaining and humorous chapter book features animals who can perform amazing acts like riding motocross, foretelling the weather, and playing a guitar. These stories will enchant readers and empower them to devour the more text-heavy "grown up" style of the book, while still keeping the story easily digestible for a hesitant reader.

National Geographic supports K-12 educators with ELA Common Core Resources.
