(2) K-3 Illustrated by Steve Jenkins. The authors answer the title question--and five more--on full but not crowded double-page spreads. Spreads feature six animals; each creature (and its method) is varied and vividly presented. Jenkins's detailed cut-paper art is clear; the amount of text is just right; and the page design keeps it all easy on the eyes. Four pages at the back provide more information.
