Gr 1-3–Beginning with mother and newborn, Wendorff’s simple texts disclose what the young eat and what they can do as they grow. The cub and fawn are playful, whereas the eaglet is careful not to risk falling before it becomes a fledgling and learns to fly. Color photos, one full page per spread, have been appropriately selected from various picture archives, making for an attractive format and an easy way for new readers to pick up a few tidbits about these animals. While they don’t offer enough information for reports, these beginning chapter books, with one or two large-type sentences per page, might attract browsers.–Nancy Call, Santa Cruz Public Libraries, Aptos, CA
