(4) K-3 Animals Around the World series. Each of twelve spreads features a colorful illustration of a dinosaur surrounded by text boxes cursorily highlighting the particular dinosaur's notable behaviors and physical attributes, a very simple map, and a generic dinosaur-to-human size comparison. References to body parts' theorized functions nod to uncertainty in the field. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.

(4) K-3 Animals Around the World series. This book features a concise, accessible text broken into seven boxes per spread. The volume profiles twelve animals, touching on social behaviors, diet, physical adaptations, and geographic location (shown on an unlabeled map). Stock photos highlight physical features, and each spread includes a generic animal-to-human size comparison. Several proofreading errors are unfortunate. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.

(4) K-3 Animals Around the World series. Each of twelve spreads introduces a different type of horse, emphasizing breed origins, physicality, and current and historical uses. The concise text appears in seven callout boxes per spread, with occasional tidbits about famous horses. Stock photos enliven the pages and clarify differences between breeds. Generic horse-to-human size comparisons are misleading due to inconsistencies in horses' positions. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.

(4) K-3 Animals Around the World series. Each of twelve spreads feature seven text boxes that superficially introduce an "extraordinary" creature, discussing social structures, species variation, relative size (with a simple graphic), and geographic spread (unfortunately with an often unlabeled map). Stock photos provide close-ups of unique physical features and show hunting in action. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
