(3) K-3 “Every creature on Earth has its own special qualities. That is why it is so important we treasure all of them.” The text goes on to describe the unusual characteristics of twenty-two little-known animals and insects, from the limb-regenerating axolotl to the slime-releasing hagfish to the gliding colugo. Each critter gets a spread with vivid full-page illustrations, as well as graphic novel–style drawings, that break down the specifics of each animal’s “curiosity.” Animal aficionados are likely to learn something new about the variety of life on our planet. A “Did You Spot?” section that calls out additional creatures from the illustrations and glossary are appended.
