(Animals of Latin America/Animales de Latinoamérica Series). photos. glossary. index. Web sites. CIP. Rosen/PowerKids Pr. 2009. PLB $21.25. Gr 1-3 These titles offer basic information about the animals of Latin America. The texts, which consist of a few sentences per page, are clearly written, informative, and lively. The English appears on top, with the excellent Spanish translation below. The large font will appeal to beginning readers. Each page of text faces a full-page photograph of the featured animal along with a fun fact. The quality of the stock photography and printing is adequate, but not necessarily artistic. Nevertheless, children will enjoy looking at the close-up images of howling monkeys, soaring macaws, and other exotic creatures. One drawback to the series is the lack of a clear explanation of which countries make up Latin America. For this reason, it will be difficult for children to use the books for country reports.
