Editorial Reviews

04/01/2016
PreS-Gr 2—In concise, matter-of-fact terms, the basics of each animal are introduced in three chapters covering physical characteristics, habitat, diet, and young. The author avoids the use of quantifiers, choosing instead to employ terms such as big, large, strong, and long. A "More Facts" section provides a small list of bite-size facts (for instance, moose eat pinecones as treats). Bright photos support the text and occasionally depict action scenes. The oversize format allows plenty of room for the single photo per spread. Some concepts not defined in the glossary, such as alpha pair (Gray Wolf), may need further adult explanation. VERDICT This is a strong series for classroom and individual use.
