K-3Animal Loudmouths series.
These volumes cover standard topics including habitat, young, homes, and defense. Focus on animal sounds is not as strong as the series title would suggest (though the concluding "Sound Check" charts help by summarizing scientific findings about the meaning of the different sounds). Large labeled photos, informative fact boxes, and clean design help enliven the bland main texts. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these Animal Loudmouths titles: Coyote, Hippo, Howler Monkey, Humpback Whale, and Hyena.
