Reading Level: Grade 1 Interest Level: Grades K – 3
A rhinoceros is always ready for a fight! One or two horns protrude from its head. These horns are used as weapons against other rhinos and predators. Beginning readers will learn how rhinos use their horns in battle and discover that they can regrow broken horns!
'The Animal Safari series are written for emergent (level 1) readers. Each page has one or two sentences describing what rhinoceroses look like, where they live, what they eat, and how they behave. Large, colorful photos are well chosen to illustrate the text. The layout is attractive. Words to know are in bold font and defined in the glossary. Other recommended books are written at a similar reading and interest level. A young reader will likely need assistance using the factsurfer website. An index ends the book. This series is a good initial resource for those beginning research on animals.', South Sound Book Review Council, Washington
