Because these titles are excerpted from Nickens's Field &Stream: The Total Outdoorsman Manual (Weldon Owen, 2011), skip them if your library already owns the original.
Amphibians
Despite some flaws, suitable additions.
Following a brief introduction to birds' identifying
characteristics and the concept of scientific classification,
two-page spreads provide a general overview of physical attributes
and adaptations, nesting and chick-rearing behaviors, and
subcategories such as water birds. Captioned photos are well
chosen; an occasional spread features exceptional birds (e.g., the
swift, which sleeps while it flies). A quiz is appended. Reading
list. Glos., ind.

scoring points, and equipment. The large type, full-color
photographs, and primary-colored fact boxes will appeal to
beginning readers and newcomers to each sport. Reading list. Glos.,
ind. Review covers the following A+ Books: All About Sports titles:
All About Football and All About Hockey.
