The Most Adorable Animals in the World
Suitable choices; purchase as needed.
Eight endangered species and nine unusual animals are briefly
profiled in these overviews. Each two-page chapter provides a
limited introduction to a creature and is supported by beginning

photo, and a fact box. Budding naturalists will enjoy browsing but
will need to look elsewhere for depth. Common Corerelated
questions and range maps are appended. Reading list. Glos., ind.

unnaturally into the narratives. Still, these are adequate starting
points for American history research. Bib., glos., ind. Review

Primary Source History of U.S. Independence and A Primary
Source History of Slavery in the United States.
