Animal Planet: Weird and Wonderful series.
With topics covering everything from the hunting habits of the platypus to why a peacock is so brightly colored, these books are filled with interesting facts about animal defense or appearance. The downside of the breadth of information is that each creature/topic is only given very brief, cursory coverage. Dynamic (but busy) layouts include many photographs and computer-generated illustrations. Glos., ind. Review covers these Animals Planet: Weird and Wonderful titles: Show-Offs and Attack and Defense.
