(4) 4-6 Amazing Animal Defenses series. These titles introduce the various ways in which animals defend themselves against predators, from fighting back to blending in. Bright photographs enliven the writing, but the many captions, callout boxes, and "Wild Fact" feature make the pages look busy and interrupt the flow of the main texts. Nevertheless, the high-interest topics will keep readers engaged. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Amazing Animal Defenses titles: Animal Body-Part Regenerators, Animal Chemical Combat, Animal Mimics, Animals with Awesome Armor, Animals with Crafty Camouflage, and Animals with Wicked Weapons.
