Editorial Reviews

11/01/2013
K-Gr 2—In each title, brief sentences on the recto face a full-page color photo on the verso. The books include introductions to the featured animal, a "Did You Know?" page of further fun facts, a true-or-false quiz with answers at the bottom of the page, and a glossary, which defines words that are in bold font in the text. The language is breezy and clear. Humans in the narratives are named, making the texts inviting. For example, Juan's bunny nibbles on a carrot, Dusty is Elliot's foal, and Lauren's piglet snuggles in the hay. The information is enough to whet appetites, but is too limited for study. The large, clear photos are a huge draw. This set will be attractive to new readers who are keen on baby animals.
