(4) 4-6 Animal Attack series. Lively double-page spreads cover general facts about sharks (physiology, behaviors, etc.) as well as brief snippets of information about different species. The organization of topics is haphazard, but the occasionally busy presentation generally provides a good balance between text, graphics, and sharp color photographs. A life-size foldout photo of a portion of a great white shark's snout is effective. Websites. Glos., ind.

The focus is on the creatures' destructive capabilities. The organization of topics is haphazard, but the occasionally busy presentation generally provides a good balance between text, graphics, and sharp close-up photographs.

(4) 4-6 Animal Attack series. Double-page spreads on fourteen different reptiles focus on what makes these animals dangerous. Color photographs are paired with accessible text that presents information in bite-size chunks, though the organization is random and some spreads are overly busy. Young readers will appreciate the smattering of actual-size photos and foldout illustration of an alligator's jaws. Websites. Glos., ind.
