(4) K-3 Big Beasts series. Color photographs combine with simple texts to superficially introduce these large mammals. Chapters touch on physical traits, unique behaviors, and differences between types of elephant, whale, etc. Each title begins with a strong but shallow declarative statement regarding size ("Whales are gigantic!") and concludes with a "BIG Facts" feature providing relatable comparisons that make the scale comprehensible for young readers. Glos., ind. Review covers these Big Beasts titles: Elephant, Giraffe, Gorilla, Polar Bear, Tiger, and Whale.
