ReviewedScorpions and tarantulas may be small. But these two animals know how to fight! In this high-interest title, reluctant readers will learn about how these two creatures get ready to battle. Visual features offer stats and comparisons to highlight traits of each animal. A final fight scene applies the content of the book in an action-packed finale!
'Highly engaging and fast-paced with close-up color photographs on each page, this series provides interesting facts about wild animals and compares them to a competitor. Two of the books feature animals whose range would never overlap and the battle photograph must be computer generated. Helpful nonfiction text features like a diagram showing animal size, habitat, and range, a secret weapons page highlighting the animal’s adaptations, and a learn more page with book recommendations and a Factsurfer web link make this series stand out. The series also has typical text features like bold printed words defined in a glossary, a table of contents and an index. The text features and highly engaging nature of this series would make it useful for elementary school wild animal reports and reluctant readers who enjoy wild animal information. This series would be popular in elementary schools, and possibly for reluctant readers in middle school.', Sarah Idman, School Librarian, Harwich Elementary School
