  | Full Text Reviews: Booklist - 02/01/2020 *Starred Review* These new entries prove that the long-running Nature’s Children series (6 new titles) is as reliable as ever. Recently refreshed with updated cover and interior designs, these clear, informative texts are written in an engaging tone and illustrated with well-chosen photos, making them perfect for young researchers. Kangaroos focuses on the four largest species of kangaroo, their preferred habitat and climate, their social groups, diet, the life of a newborn joey in the mother's pouch, and kangaroo relatives and possible ancestors. Each title opens with a “Fact File” containing brief summaries on its animal’s habitat, diet, size (with a helpful infographic), physical features, and classification. Large photographs and labeled body diagrams allow for an even closer view at the species discussed. A family tree, glossary, and list of recommended books round out these incredibly informative titles. Highly recommended for all children's nonfiction collections. - Copyright 2020 Booklist.
