(3) 4-6 Animals Head to Head series. Color photographs, unobtrusive cartoons, and short "rounds" describe the predatory skills of these two animals, tallying points for size, camouflage, hunting abilities, and sensory acuity to determine a "winner." The competitive setup and the author's eye for all things scary and gross keep things lively; information about endangered species status ("The Real Fight") adds perspective. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
