(4) K-3 Animal Groups Are Categorical series. Illustrated by Martin Goneau. These books give light, rhyming overviews of the defining features of reptiles and amphibians and examples of different species. Packing scientific facts into frantic verse results in some awkward lines; fortunately, the last spread's bulleted summary provides a short, clear recap. Colorful cartoon illustrations of goofy-looking creatures are busy, but they occasionally sneak in very basic diagrams or labels to aid comprehension. Review covers these Animal Groups are Categorical titles: Salamander, Frog, and Polliwog and Tortoise, Tree Snake, Gator, and Sea Snake.
