This colorful, high-interest Versus! series (6 new titles) puts a new roster of animals to the ultimate test tting them against one another in fictional battles. Following the same format, each book contains four short chapters that introduce the battle, compare the animals' features and abilities, analyze which creature would win, and offer tips to readers wishing to help protect wildlife. While the featured animals share a common attribute, they differ wildly otherwise, leading to very entertaining (and impossible) pairings. Slow Loris vs. Koala presents a "teddy bear brawl" between two cuddly but fierce (when necessary) opponents. In all the volumes, colorful photos and cartoon artwork support fact-filled text, and helpful captions and creative embellishments (to depict comparative size, for instance) create more opportunities to learn. These books are ideal for the younger set as well as readers looking for simple but engaging animal books.
