(4) 4-6 Watts Library series. These dry but serviceable books provide general overviews of their respective groups of mammals. Each animal is discussed in a separate chapter that lists information about its physical features, life cycle, diet, habitat, and behavior. The texts are rife with statistics, but the facts could have been presented in a more interesting manner. Maps, captioned color photographs, and sidebars round out the presentations. Bib., glos., ind.
