(3) 4-6 Checkerboard Library: Real Monsters series. After a somewhat lurid introduction, eight or nine brief chapters provide overviews of each invertebrate's appearance, behavior, diet, habitat, and reproductive cycle as well as threats to its survival. High-quality stock photos (for the elusive squid, illustrations) accompany accessible texts. Despite sensationalized titles and pulp fiction–style design, the books actually address the misunderstood animals' "monstrous" reputations and advocate for their conservation. Glos., ind. Review covers these Checkerboard Library: Real Monsters titles: Giant Centipede and Giant Squid.
