K-3SuperSized! series.
A simple text combines with stock photos and maps to introduce the habitat, diet, life cycle, physical features, and behavior of the world's largest mammals. Comparisons are accessible ("A giraffe is about as tall as three adults standing on top of one another"), and despite some dumb section heads (e.g., "There She Blows!"), the text clearly presents very basic information.
