School Library Journal

Gr 3-6-These four titles focus on the animal kingdom in a straightforward manner. All have vibrant photographs, text boxes, and "Did You Know?" sections that provide unusual and high-interest facts. Each title contains several chapters on individual animals, with opening chapters that offer a more general overview. Mollusks is the least successful as it does not provide a clear initial statement of similarities and differences among the two groups considered. Comparable to Bobbie Kalman's "The Science of Living Things" series (Crabtree), these offerings explore their subjects in greater depth than Lynn Stone's "Animal Kingdom Discovery Library" series (Rourke, 1997).-Gloria Koster, West School, New Canaan, CT Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

From tiny, colorful tree frogs to the giant salamanders that burrow along the riverbanks of Japan, there are more than 7,000 amphibian species living on our planet today.

A True Book: Animals series introduces young investigative readers to animal species, their habitats, unique abilities as well as an up-close look at the dangers these animals face today and find out how humans can help keep all animal species from disappearing forever. This series includes an age appropriate (grades 3-5) introduction to curriculum-relevant subjects and a robust resource section that encourages independent study. Readers will discover how these incredible animals live double lives, spending time both on land and underwater. They will also find out how amphibians search for food and reproduce, as well as what dangers are facing these species today.
