(3) K-3 North American Mammals series. Though written in the first person ("I have 42 teeth and powerful jaws..."), these books resist further personification and instead create engaging, accurate narratives about the life cycle, nurture, habitat, skills, size, and culture of their subjects. Well-selected photos closely match the text, and specific headings ("Water Baby"; "Keeping in Touch") introduce each double-spread. A fact page concludes each volume. Websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these North American Mammals titles: Beaver, Brown Bear, Gray Wolf, Mountain Lion, Prairie Dog, Raccoon, and Sea Otter.
