This browsable compendium highlights twenty-three less-familiar mammals, including the numbat, solenodon, and Speke's pectinator. Each two-page entry includes a box of basic facts (size, diet, habitat, endangered status, and region map), cartoony illustrations, and a cheekily narrated text that sometimes gets in its own way in an attempt at humor. Overall, this is a diverting introduction to some unusual creatures. Glos.
