(4) K-3 Even More SuperSized! series. Simple text, stock photos, and maps introduce the habitat, diet, life cycle, physical characteristics, and behavior of the featured animal. Despite some cheesy section titles, the clear comparisons ("With its arms stretched out, the octopus is about as long as a minivan") and straightforward text will help readers understand more difficult concepts. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these Even More Supersized titles: Giant Pacific Octopus, Walking Sticks, and Giant Weta.
