(4) 4-6 Great Predators series. This book covers grizzlies' life cycle, range and habitat, predatory behaviors, diet, and protected status. The clean layout features engaging photos, plenty of leading between lines of text, and short sentences that don't sacrifice interest or depth of information (though they make for choppy reading). Chapters are arranged per series formula, but this is a useful high-interest volume nonetheless. Reading list. Glos., ind.
