(4) K-3 Step into Reading series. Illustrated by Isidre Mones. Loosely following one fictional stingray, this text introduces newly independent readers to stingrays' hunting, birthing, and defense mechanisms, along with species variation, stingrays' (limited) threat to humans, and ongoing research. Photographs and drawings coexist uneasily, and a spread on petting stingrays at a particular aquarium feels out of place. Still, despite its awkward construction, the book is informative and accessible.
