(4) 4-6 Atomic series. These high-interest books about animals and animal behavior are good for browsing; slight on detailed material, they offer basic information plus some unusual tidbits (e.g., "A Komodo dragon can smell a meal from 5 miles away"). Busy layouts feature many photographs, illustrations, bulleted information, and boxed text. The diagonally set text design is eye-catching but could be difficult for struggling readers. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Atomic titles: Animal Spies, Creature Camouflage, Nature's Armor and Defenses, and Nature's Tricks.
