Full Text Reviews:
School Library Journal - 11/01/2025 Gr 3–5—Each book in this series introduces more than 20 animals from the featured continent. Some are organized by habitat. A spread on "North American Rain Forests," for example, briefly describes the biome, then provides quick profiles of mountain lions and Roosevelt elk. Other sections look at animal groupings, like "Bears of Asia," which covers pandas, sun bears, and sloth bears. Two or three sentences provide introductory information on each animal, often covering size, diet, and appearance, with inset boxes adding an extra fact in some cases. Every profile includes a clear photograph showing the animal in its environment. Except for Animals of North America and Animals of South America, the books show the continent's location on a world map, but ranges of individual animals are not shown. Readers learn a little bit about a lot of animals and get a sense of the diverse environments of the seven continents. VERDICT Strong appeal for browsers. - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
