(4) K-3 Safari Sam's Wild Animals series. Each book introduces ten species with a single photo of the animal (on a white background, not in its habitat) and texts in layers of reading difficulty. Basic facts appear in large font; more-in-depth details linked to color-coded icons (for diet, location, size, etc.) appear in smaller, pale print; and chibi cartoon "Safari Sam" offers random factual asides. Overall, this presentation is disjointed. Glos., ind. Review covers these Safari Sam's Wild Animals titles: Desert Animals, Freshwater Animals, Jungle Animals, Mountain Animals, Ocean Animals, and Polar Animals.
