Predators in the Wild series.
Basic facts about great white sharks are conveyed in an easy-to-read but dry text aimed at reluctant readers. Color photos depict great white sharks from a variety of angles, and helpful charts clarify significant facts and dispel common myths. A list of useful addresses and Internet sites is included. Bib., glos., ind.

Predators in the Wild series.
These two volumes focus on how wolves and bats hunt but also contain information on their habitat and relations to people. Brief chapter summaries clarify important topics. Aimed at reluctant readers, each book contains short, easy-to-read sentences, but the writing is bland and choppy. Clear color photos, informative charts, useful addresses, and a list of Internet sites are included. Bib., glos., ind.

Predators in the Wild series.
Aimed at reluctant readers, this book features an easy-to-read but lifeless text. A fast fact chart allows readers to quickly check the size, weight, and scientific names for these large snakes, and another chart compares myths and facts. Color photos show a wide variety of anaconda behavior. A list of useful addresses and Internet sites is appended. Bib., glos., ind.
