(4) K-3 Animal Body Coverings series. These two series entries provide basic information on the purpose and uses of shells and scales, as well as care of the coverings and how they grow. The information is interesting and the texts are easy to read, although transitions are sometimes awkward. The accompanying photos are clear close-ups, but labeling is inconsistent. A simple picture-identifying quiz is appended. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers the following Animal Body Coverings titles: Why Do Snails and Other Animals Have Shells? and Why Do Snakes and Other Animals Have Scales?.
