SandCastle: Mini Animal Marvels series.
This small-trim title for beginning readers is an appropriate size for its diminutive subject. The straightforward book profiles four species, one per four-page chapter. The simple text is enhanced by clear, engaging photos; a graphic compares relative scale to adults and a child. A "Did You Know?" section offers four more facts, and a true-false quiz tests comprehension. Glos.

Animal Marvels series.
In the informative volumes in this series, each spread features a subtopic (for instance, sound effects, body language, or scents in Communicating) and develops it with a handful of examples from the animal kingdom. Although the examples, shown in hyper-realistic computer-aided illustrations, are taken indiscriminately from different continents and habitats, maps and charts in the back (in tiny print) add context.
