Why Are Animals Blue?

“… vibrant col­ors and fun facts take read­ers through the world and explain how col­or helps crea­tures sur­vive. They are intro­duced to a vari­ety of ani­mals, from finned to feath­ered. [Then] read­ers are intro­duced to two new ani­mals and get to see if they can fig­ure out how the ani­mals’ col­or helps them sur­vive in their envi­ron­ments. [W]orld maps show where each ani­mal lives … and would make a nice start­ing point to dis­cuss affects of envi­ron­men­tal changes and how they might affect the ani­mals. Each vol­ume pro­vides a beau­ti­ful intro­duc­tion to ani­mal adap­ta­tions … High-inter­est con­tent, bright col­or, and con­trolled vocab­u­lary will draw read­ers in.” (NSTA)
