K-3Extreme Animals series.
These informational early readers teach about some of the "deadliest" and "trickiest" animals, which respectively defend themselves by attacking (tigers, mosquitoes) or foiling an attack (leaf-tailed gecko, Io moth). Striking spreads feature Jenkins's trademark cut-paper illustrations, with sidebars highlighting each animal's size, home, and food. Each entry includes an informative paragraph of description about the animal and an additional quirky fact. Bib., glos. Review covers these Extreme Animals titles: Deadliest! and Trickiest!
