32 pp. | Dawn | March, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58469-117-4 $16.95 | Paper ISBN 978-1-58469-118-1 $8.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Michael S. Maydak. Each double-page spread introduces an unusual wild animal, from the "pig-deer" babirusa to the eel-like hagfish and the tiny jumping rodent jerboa. The text includes awkward poems, brief paragraphs of information, and a "Fabulous Fact" about each creature. Dramatic paintings of the animals, some distractingly anthropomorphized, illustrate the volume. A selection of related activities for teachers is included.
