Learning about science requires action! The stunning color photographs in these books capture children's attention, making them eager to listen to the books being read and then to go back and read them again on their own. Fascinating facts, easy-to-read text, and an illustrated glossary combine to encourage students to think about what they are reading. With thinking comes comprehension—and knowledge! Supporting notes for parents and teachers suggest activities to reinforce understanding. The notes also provide useful tips to ensure that both reluctant and eager young scientists gain knowledge of and appreciation for the wonderful world of animals. All books in the series measure 91/2" x 81/4".
