Gr 2-4-In these titles written from an individual animal's perspective, the author keeps the content factual without slipping into anthropomorphism. The books open with each animal introducing itself; each species then goes on to describe its early life and family, special physical features, diet, and defensive techniques. Most titles end with the animal anticipating its transition to adult and parenthood. Mountain Lion begins with a grown animal and ends with a litter, while Brown Bear and Sea Otter stop short of adulthood. Photos are carefully matched to the text, and close-ups and labels are used occasionally. Beaver and Prairie Dog describe the animals' below-the-surface homes but never show them. The presentation has a scrapbook feel and makes use of a variety of text colors. A final facts page assumes the third-person voice and includes a size comparison between the grown animal and an average seven-year-old. Only Mountain Lion, Prairie Dog, and Sea Otter mention dwindling numbers. (c) Copyright 2014. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
