Curious animal lovers will likely answer with a resounding yes when they see the creatures profiled in the Do You Really Want to Meet . . .? series. Using a picture-book format, each volume follows a fictional child on a journey to visit an interesting animal in the wild. Readers jet off to Brazil in Anteater, where a giant anteater uses its lengthy tongue to slurp up ants and termites, and four-inch claws to fend off a jaguar. Friendly paintings illustrate the text, incorporating scientifically accurate depictions of the animals, especially when it comes to showing their size; the text directly poses questions to readers as it describes the featured animal. Each closing spread in these approachable animal introductions consists of a range map and brief glossary of terms.
