K-3Animals Around the World series.
These books feature concise, accessible texts broken into seven boxes per spread. Each volume highlights twelve animals, touching on physical adaptations, diet, habits, defense mechanisms, and behaviors. Each spread includes vivid stock photos, a small (occasionally confusing) and generic animal-to-human size comparison, and an overly simplistic map. A few proofreading errors are unfortunate. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Animals Around the World titles: Jungle Animals, Ocean Animals, and Sharks and Sea Creatures.
