Wild Ones series.
Enticing photos illustrate the lives of lions and elephants in each of these little books. The text is very simple, giving brief overviews of and basic details about the animals. The variety of fonts used and some unusual text placement add visual interest but distract from content. These titles might be useful as cursory introductions. Review covers these Wild Ones titles: Elephants and Lions.
