Editorial Reviews

05/01/2019

Gr 4–6—Each title examines the unusual features of six different animals. After an opening page comparing animals to superheroes, four-page profiles examine how one particular attribute helps each animal, along with a bit about physiology. Additional information about habitat or physical features is sometimes included. The use of broad generalizations, without delving into variations between species, can be misleading: it's true that chameleon color change can be related to disguise, for instance, but other causes are more common. A mixture of full-page photos and smaller insets provide useful images of the animals in action. Most, but not all, capture the highlighted feature effectively. Small cartoon drawings add a light touch without being too intrusive. VERDICT This series contains fun facts with minor flaws.
