PreS-Gr 2—These slim books are packed with well-organized information about some of the more unusual jungle babies and could serve as models of informational books for this audience. The vocabulary is simple but still manages to pack a punch, with important words in bold defined by both word and picture in the glossary. The photography is sharp and clearly labeled. Sidebars include maps, diagrams that indicate comparative size, and magnifications of a particular animal's unique features. In addition to a table of contents and an index, there are "read more" and "learn more online" features in the back matter. Although too small to be used for actual classroom instruction, these titles will attract browsers and will be appreciated by fledgling report writers.
