Arapaima

Ellen LAWRENCE | NONFICTION, Apr 01, 2017

Well-rounded species profiles suitable for reports.

Elementary-level texts introduce freshwater fish predators of the Amazon, exploring each creature's habitat, diets, adaptations for survival, and life cycles. Abundant labeled photographs, additional facts, and discussion questions throughout promote further engagement with the material. Squeamish readers may balk at photos of half-eaten prey. A "Science Lab" activity is appended. Reading list. Glos., ind.

Search and Rescue Dogs on the Job

Marne VENTURA | NONFICTION, Apr 01, 2017

Likely to appeal to dog lovers, but overall an uneven effort.

Each of these winning volumes features a different kind of working dog, first summarizing the main jobs they perform, the best breeds for a task, length of training, and famous dogs who have performed these roles. The books then profile a couple of real on-the-job dogs and detail how each canine was trained. Appealing color photos and closing discussion questions accompany each entry. There are four other spring 2017 books in this series. Reading list. Bib., glos., ind.

The Doorman's Repose

Chris RASCHKA | FICTION, Apr 01, 2017

Plots about pigeon tenders, insomniac men, and old-fashioned elevators are not likely to grab the attention of young kids on their own, but this will make a good match for the right readers and also serve as an excellent recommendation for adults reading aloud to children.
