"Beginning-level information paired with consistent, repetitive sentence structure makes the titles accessible to new readers." —School Library Journal

From the Publisher

PreS-Gr 2—About a dozen animals from common habitats are described at the most basic level. Simple sentences present one or two facts: "Chameleons live in the rain forest. They can change colors." Habitats are introduced with similar brevity: "The mountains are high up and cold." In most cases, a clear full-page photo appears opposite the text. The beginning-level information paired with consistent, repetitive sentence structure makes the titles accessible to new readers. Sometimes the general nature of the text can be misleading. For instance, the statement that whales in the arctic "have white skin" is accompanied by a beluga whale photo but implies that all arctic whales are white. Most photographs depict the featured environment in recognizable ways. There are no maps showing habitat locations; younger readers might need that visual context. An index lists only four animals. VERDICT Additional choices for early reader nonfiction sections.
