“These titles in the ‘Amazing Animals’ series reveal why even some of the world’s most well-known animals are indeed extraordinary. Double-page spreads are comprised of one page with large text made up of a few short sentences and a facing full-page, color photo of the animal in action. The spreads cover such topics as the animal’s physical characteristics, habitat, movement, and diet, as well as how the female gives birth and raises young and where humans might typically see the animal …. a brief folk tale about the animal concludes each book. The series’ content and design work together to develop and encourage young science readers.” —Booklist, April 2020
