(4) K-3 Wild Nature series. These tributes to extremes use a Q-and-A format to supply information about their subjects, ranging from the nearly invisible glass frog to the Komodo dragon to the stinking corpse lily. Busy pages feature subdivided text with headings, colorful photos, and sidebars, and a fact file ends each book. The subjects are somewhat random, but the approach invites browsing. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these Wild Nature titles: Giant and Teeny, Gross and Gory, Speedy and Slow, and Weird and Wonderful.
