Gr 1-3-These primer-sized volumes give basic facts about the featured animals using bland, controlled vocabulary. Each page of large-print text faces a full-color photograph that is sometimes sharp and clear, sometimes not. The amount and quality of the information is slight. "Some dogs help police officers. Dogs can help police officers catch bad people." Each volume ends with a four-term picture dictionary, some more applicable to the subject than others. Since the stated purpose of these volumes is not for information gathering but as texts to be used with emergent Hispanic readers and for children learning Spanish, their most appropriate home is in reading programs or ESL collections. Libraries will do better with the "Eyewitness Juniors" series (Knopf) or the "El facinante mundo de" books (Norma) for more in-depth and accurate treatments of animal and insect life.

Las arañas se distinguen por poseer cuatro pares de patas y un cuerpo divido en dos segmentos: el cefalotórax y el abdomen. El cefalotórax está protegido por una cubierta rígida y allí se encuentran cuatro pares de ojos simples. Además, debajo de la cabeza tienen dos pares de apéndices: los quelíceros y los pedipalpos. Con éstos últimos, las arañas capturan y paralizan a sus presas, inyectándoles el veneno producido en unas glándulas especializadas. Posteriormente la araña disuelve los tejidos de su víctima mediante la acción de sus jugos digestivos. De esta forma puede succionar el alimento hacia su estómago, donde lo almacena en una glándula digestiva. Otra característica distintiva de estos interesantes animales es su capacidad de producir un fluido especial muy rico en proteínas que se solidifica, permitiéndole construir una red o entramado de seda. Este entretenido libro presenta la vida y el hábitat de estas criaturas.
