Gila Monster's Burrow
Featuring large, close-up photographs and sparse text, these titles on animal homes are useful choices for young readers new to nonfiction. Labels, captions, and questions addressing the readers add to the interactive element, enhancing the appeal. Kangaroo Rat’s, in particular, is heavy on the cute factor, and kids will pore over it.
