Gr 1-3--With a huge font size, a simple yet appealing layout, and large images, these continuing books in this attractive series can't miss. SLJ said of previous series titles that they "[do] a good job of covering the basics" and "[offer] a solid opportunity to start introducing nonfiction features." Attractive, clear photos are action packed, informative, and, at times, adorable (expect baby animals galore!), and the text, while simple, is appropriate to young audiences, discussing these animals' body parts, life cycles, and eating habits. Rudimentary but clear diagrams are a nice plus.

the "Amazing Animals" series will attract both beginning and struggling readers. The large, beautiful photos on each spread include vivid shots of animals in action as well as close-ups of their faces. Photo captions consistently add interesting animal facts, and occasional vocabulary words are defined at the bottom of the pages, adding to the clean, appealing layout. In addition to the engaging photos, the text is laid out in a large, easy-to-read font. The text, although made up of simple sentences, conveys plenty of interesting information.
