Reviews
“The six books in this truly outstanding series of nature books for beginning readers are extremely well written and superbly illustrated. Each book gives a good description of the unique features of the anatomy, life history and development of the animal mentioned in the title, as well as of its economic importance.” (Science Books & Films)
Behind the Book
“We know so much about mammals 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 mammals unique.”
