Full Text Reviews: School Library Journal - 02/01/2016 K-Gr 3—This long-running series, known for its gorgeous, eye-catching photos; elegant layout; and spare yet effective text, returns with new installations that introduce kids to some fascinating creatures. Bodden and Riggs cover the basics—behavior, appearance, location, and young—and each volume ends with a brief myth or legend about the animal in question. The photographs elevate these offerings above the rest of the pack: images from striking angles that depict these beasts in movement will entice children. Browsers and those making their first forays into nonfiction will enjoy these gentle overviews. - Copyright 2016 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
