Natural World series.
Appealing, well-chosen color photographs accompany factual texts in large type covering the essentials of each animal's birth, daily life, and enemies, including hunters and poachers. The format of the books is overdesigned. Organizations and websites are listed at the back, though Giant Panda lists a polar bear website--and that website can't be found. Bib., glos., ind.

Nature's Mysteries series.
