Fascinating facts, easy-to-read text, and an illustrated glossary combine to encourage students to think about comprehension-and knowledge! Supporting notes for parents and teachers suggest activities to reinforce understanding. The notes also provide useful tips to ensure that both reluctant and eager young scientists gain knowledge of and appreciation for the wonderful world of animals.
