(4) 4-6 Animals of the Rain Forest series. Short, choppy sentences with glossary words printed in bold-faced type and close-up color photos with dull captions characterize this brief introduction to the king vulture. Redmond discusses the raptor's habitat, physical characteristics, habits, life cycle, and threats from deforestation. Report writers will find this an adequate if bland resource on an unusual topic. Habitat map. Glos., ind.

(4) K-3 Nature on the Rampage series. Descriptions of a variety of storms, slides, and other natural disasters compose the bulk of the books in this series, along with basic information about meteorology or earth science and accounts of historic events. The origins of the disasters are identified; however, the explanations lack clarity, and similar information is repeated across volumes. Color diagrams and photos are helpful. Glos., ind. [Review covers these Nature on the Rampage titles: Landslides and Avalanches, Thunderstorms, Blizzards, Drought, Ice Storms and Hailstorms, Tsunamis.]
