Brief chapters introduce newly independent readers to the titular subjects. Ugly highlights several animals' quirky physical adaptations. Coral includes some more nuanced information on reefs (e.g., a labeled diagram of reef zones). Bright photos, labeled and at times captioned, clarify textual content, while boxes featuring definitions and jokes increase the books' approachability. A quiz and picture glossary are appended. Review covers the following National Geographic Readers titles: Ugly Animals and Coral Reefs.
