(4) 4-6 21st Century Science series. Attempting to explain genetics research and then present some of the resulting ethical issues, this book accurately introduces chromosomes, DNA, meiosis, gene splicing, cloning, medical applications, and the like. But some of the text is dense, perhaps necessarily for the short-paragraph format. Photos and diagrams colorfully supplement the text. Glos., ind.

(4) K-3 Who Am I? series. Illustrated by Wayne Ford. With explanations about wings, eyes, feet, beak, tail, head, and nest, each double-page spread gives clues to the identity of the Golden Eagle. Further information about offspring and habitat is followed by questions reviewing the text. Detailed and realistic illustrations accompany this basic introduction to this bird of prey, but the book seems more like a worksheet. Glos., ind.

The uses of these body parts and facts about offspring and habitat are reviewed by questions at the end of the text. Realistic illustrations enhance this plodding and textbookish introduction to the giraffe. Glos., ind.
