(4) K-3 Amazing Animals series. Both books offer basic information about these two animals. The choppy text does attempt to make the information accessible to young readers: "A lion may eat 70 pounds (32 kg) of meat in one meal. That is the same as eating 280 large hamburgers." The color photographs enhance the text. Recommended websites are scattered throughout; a quiz and related addresses are appended. Glos., ind. [Review covers these Amazing Animals titles: Elephants and Lions.]
