(4) K-3 A+ Books: Awesome African Animals series. These large books use simple texts, impressive photos, and colorful graphics to introduce African mammals. The language is engaging ("Slurp!...Squirt!...Spray!"), though some information is pretty superficial ("Your neck has seven bones too. They are much smaller than a giraffe's though!"; "[Elephant] calves look like small adults"). Each book includes Common Core critical-thinking questions. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these A+ Books: Awesome African Animals titles: Giraffes Are Awesome, Lions Are Awesome, Meerkats Are Awesome, Chimpanzees Are Awesome, Zebras Are Awesome, and Elephants Are Awesome.
