Science of Living Things series.
The best-known groups of mammals, such as primates and bats, are described, but so are more unusual groups, including monotremes (the platypus) and edentates (the sloth). The result is a well-rounded introduction, illustrated with color photographs and drawings. The unattractive design is a drawback, and a little more in-depth discussion would have added to the book's usefulness. Glos., ind.

Science of Living Things series.
From sea-living sponges to African elephants, this survey covers the whole spectrum. Color photos and drawings show examples from major groups, highlighting both common and unusual animals. The book is a bit rushed in its attempt to cover the entire animal kingdom, and some of the drawings are more functional than attractive. Glos., ind.
