| Behind the Book |
|
| “We know so much about birds that it was a challenge to whittle down all the fascinating research I gathered into just 1,500 words. I had to really understand what makes birds unique.” |

| Reviews |
|
| Terrific Tongues describes a skink that has a bright blue tongue to frighten predators away. Stewart also highlights an alligator snapping turtle, a green frog, a downy woodpecker, a snake, a penguin, and a cow. These well-thought-out titles are suitable for beginning readers looking for some fascinating facts, and the excellent photography will draw them into the books. There is also a guessing game at the back of each volume. Solid additions to most collections. |
