(3) K-3 Have You Ever Seen? series. Illustrated by Jeff Szuc. People may wear sunscreen, sunglasses, and snowshoes, but the seven featured animals have their own physical adaptations to their environments. Large type, very brief question-and-answer text ("Have you ever seen a turtle with a snorkel?"), and humorous illustrations make the volume accessible and entertaining for young readers. A game relating to the text uses the endpapers for a board.

(3) K-3 Have You Ever Seen? series. Illustrated by Jeff Szuc. This book features seven animals that construct their homes using similar building materials to humans (e.g., wood, mud, stone). Each silly question, styled after the book's title, is illustrated with an equally amusing picture of an anthropomorphized animal (e.g., a mouse mowing the lawn, a termite wearing a hardhat). Endpapers double as a game board for comparing and contrasting homes.

(3) K-3 Have You Ever Seen? series. Illustrated by Jeff Szuc. Through a series of patterned questions, Kaner draws readers into explanations of adaptations that help animals survive in their environments (e.g., ducks' water-repellent feathers, whales' blubber). The text presents parallels between humans and animals, shown in clear, bright acrylic illustrations, that kids will surely enjoy ("Have you ever seen a cheetah in soccer cleats?"). An animal tic-tac-toe game using the endpapers is appended.

(3) K-3 Have You Ever Seen? series. Illustrated by Jeff Szuc. Using admittedly "silly" questions, Kaner introduces readers to animals that use tools in ways similar to humans. Brooms, grocery bags, back scratchers, and the like are all depicted with their natural-world counterparts (e.g., leaves and moss are chimpanzees' washcloths). Szuc's bright acrylic paintings provide humor and action. A compare-and-contrast game for readers using the endpaper art is appended.
