PreS-Gr 1—Verbal and visual clues introduce young learners to five animals per title. An initial spread provides one or two facts about the creature, with a full page photograph showing a portion of its body. The alligator, for example, has "a big mouth and sharp teeth;" the accompanying photo shows the eye and a bit of its head. A page-turn reveals the creature's name along with a two-page image of the full body. A closing "glossary" spread provides a bit more information about each animal. The simple concept is well-executed. Young readers will likely guess some, but not all of the animals, and the images on both the clue and answer pages arevisually engaging. However, What Kind of Bug Am I?, breaks the pattern by using graphic images as clues for two animals, instead of photographs. VERDICT The engaging interactive element adds appeal to the concept of animal recognition for young readers.
