Jungle Babies of the Amazon Rain Forest series.
Each of these seven books focusing on a specific baby mammal found in the Amazon River region offers information on habitat, physical appearance, communication, predators, mother-baby relationship, and maturation. Adorable close-up, clearly labeled photographs of the critters and short (if clunky) sentences make these generic books appropriate and manageable for new readers. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these Jungle Babies titles: Capybaras, Giant River Otters, Jaguars, Kinkajous, Pink River Dolphins, Squirrel Monkeys, and Three-Toed Sloths.

Checkerboard Animal Library: Nocturnal Animals series.
Report writers won't be let down by these otherwise bland offerings. Each book offers information about the titular species's habitat, habits, care of young, and threats to survival. The books all include a map and the same diagram showing how animals see in the dark. Design elements seem intended to make the subjects spooky, even when stock photos show humans embracing the animals. Glos., ind. Review covers these Checkerboard Animal Library: Nocturnal Animals titles: Aye-Ayes, Fennec Foxes, Kinkajous, Naked Mole Rats, Tarsiers, and Wombats.
