Amazing Animals: 100+ Creatures That Will Boggle Your Mind
Sabrina Weiss
- Reading
- Start with the illustrations or world map, then choose one habitat or animal group rather than reading linearly. Use the contents, glossary and index to follow interests, and check dense passages together.
- Themes
- Animal adaptation and survival: The book explains remarkable physical abilities, animal transformations, tool use and survival in extreme or hostile environments. Animals are presented through informational accounts of how their skills and adaptations help them live.
- Habitats and movement: Animals from air, land and sea are linked with habitats and migrations, with a world map showing locations. The presentation appears to connect creatures with where they live and how some move between places, without establishing a broader argument.
- Environmental threats: The book includes endangered animals and discusses environmental threats putting some animals in danger. The topic is included as part of the animal information; the book’s precise emphasis or proposed responses are not established.
- Worth knowing
- Some animals are described as creepy or scary, and the book includes environmental threats and endangered animals. If those subjects matter to your reader, look through the relevant creatures together before reading independently.
