COPY ISBN
Gr 4-6 Quick, interesting facts designed to fascinate readers are the basis of these thin books. Readers used to obtaining information in quick bites from the Internet and DK's "Eyewitness" books will not be disappointed with them. An average of six numbered facts appear on each spread, and most are accompanied by a colorful photograph. Activities, brain teasers, and quizzes are scattered throughout to provide additional information. The sharp, clear illustrations will draw in casual readers, and the array of facts will hold their attention."Christine Markley, Washington Elementary School, Barto, PA" Copyright 2010 Media Source Inc.
This book presents one hundred facts (most randomly selected) about the title nocturnal animals, in addition to "I Don't Believe It!" sidebars. Though not particularly helpful on their own, the volume's snippets just may entice readers to seek further information. The busy pages are tightly packed with photos, cartoonlike drawings, and more realistic illustrations. Ind.
