(4) K-3 Animal Families series. These books discuss similarities and differences among the animals belonging to each featured family. The age group to which these would-be primers are pitched will appreciate the generally good-quality color photos, but they may not be able to interpret all the information in the charts and photo captions.

(4) K-3 Animal Families series. A dry, straightforward text enlists simple sentences to describe the habitats, features, eating habits, size, and kin (including the eagle and kite) of the hawk. The decision to impart some information in the main text and other information in the captions alongside crisp color photos seems rather arbitrary, but the book will certainly serve report writers well.

(4) K-3 Animal Families series. Using simple, straightforward, and somewhat dull prose, Harvey capably describes the habitats, features, eating habits, size, and kin (including the zebra and donkey) of the horse. It's not clear why the information imparted in the captions alongside the crisp color photos doesn't merit mention in the main text (and vice versa), but the book will surely serve report writers well.
