'This is a 10 book series written at an approximate 2nd grade level, but will appeal to elementary students of all ages. Clear and concise information about each animal is presented in 3 main chapters: daily life, staying away from predators, and what they eat. The books follow the traditional nonfiction format, with a Table of Contents at the beginning and a Glossary and Index at the end. More difficult vocabulary words are highlighted in bold and often illustrated with detailed pictures. Helpful charts are found throughout the text. Every page is covered with bright full color pictures and close-up photos that immediately draw kids’ attention! Highly recommended for libraries serving elementary aged children!', Cheryl Kellen, Librarian, Parkers Prairie Public Schools
