Editorial Reviews

PreS-Gr 2—Each title examines physical features, habitats, and behaviors. Two or three sentences per spread are nicely supported by a large photograph. Particularly intriguing traits and behaviors, such as the giant centipede's piercing claws and how shoebills swallow their prey, are especially appealing thanks to the well-chosen images. While the "spooky" element is not the primary focus of the text, the covers and some of the interior photographs depict the unusual appearances of the animals. VERDICT Engaging animal profiles. Children's books about gavials, shoebills, and hairy frogfish are especially uncommon, so these could fill subject gaps in larger collections.
