(3) K-3 World of Weird Animals series. Illustrated by David DeGrand. This tongue-in-cheek yet informative survey examines a diverse range of "scary" creatures, from scorpions and sharks to fungi and humans. Each entry provides a brief description, a sidebar of basic facts, a close-up photograph in the wild, and a cartoon illustration. The spooky theme dramatizes a thoughtful look at how these species' frightening qualities help ensure their survival. Discussion questions are included. Glos.
