(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.
