(4) K-3 Zoom In on Polar Animals series. These basic introductions to polar mammals offer cursory facts about appearance, habitat, food, and life cycle. Simple (if choppy) texts for emergent readers are adequately reflected in the accompanying photos. Each book's appendix includes comparisons of the animal's average weight, length, or height to some hard-to-grasp items (e.g., at 3,300 pounds, "a male beluga whale weighs as much as three soda vending machines"). Glos., ind. Review covers these Zoom In on Polar Animals titles: Arctic Foxes, Beluga Whales, Caribou, Polar Bears, and Seals.
