The Great Monkey Rescue: Saving the Golden Lion Tamarins
Readers gain insights into the research, hard work, and patience involved in conservation efforts while learning about a fascinating animal. A fine choice for most collections.
Mad About Monkeys
As a supplemental title, this book may pique readers' curiosity about monkeys, but it does not provide a consistently unified introduction to the topic. Consider for collections where examples of fine contemporary graphic design are in demand.
Dinosaurs from Head to Tail
A fine choice for a basic introduction to dinosaurs that engages and informs young listeners.
Hillary Rodham Clinton: Dreams Taking Flight
Because the changes to this edition are so minimal, libraries with Krull's original can probably pass unless they need to replace a worn copy. Collections without the 2008 book might wait to weigh this biography against others likely to appear in coming months.
Over in the Wetlands: A Hurricane-on-the-Bayou Story
Even collections far from the Gulf Coast will benefit from adding this effective portrayal of how weather affects the natural landscape and the animals that live there.
What in the World?: Numbers in Nature
This book can serve as a group introduction to encourage students to spot sets in the natural world and inspire one-on-one or independent viewers to spot the interconnections in the illustrations.
The Stranded Whale
This poignant story reminds readers that despite human efforts, not all living beings can be saved and honestly portrays the frustration and sadness that can result. A thought-provoking choice.
Something Extraordinary
Perhaps Clanton wants to foster appreciation of everyday wonders found in nature, but the story is confusing and unsatisfying.
Beautiful Birds
Walker's illustrations deserve repeated viewings and can serve as a starting point for art and design projects for students in elementary school and above.
