(4) K-3 Heinemann Read and Learn: Animal Rivals series. Thomas compares the title animals' defensive behaviors and attributes in an imaginary fight. Scorpions can inflict a painful sting, but tarantulas are bigger and more aggressive. Points are assigned for size, strength, speed, vemon, fighting skills, and more. A final assessment is made after tallying the scores. In a match-up against Jerry Pallotta's long-running Who Would Win? series, Thomas's less effective series comes in second. Reading list.
