Creatures Near and Far: Animals | Series Nonfiction
High-quality graphics and nonfiction elements in a series are what makes even popular subjects such as cats and dogs stand out. Read on to get to know your at-home and backyard animals better.

Whether kids are wondering what pet to get or eager for information on more exotic options, these titles will satisfy their needs and keep them coming back for more.
Bonobos
Great introductions to pro-social behavior for young animal lovers.
Large format, clear photographs, open pages, and unchallenging sentences recommend these books for young animal enthusiasts. Though the facts about each animal aren't extensively explored, readers get a sense of their caring and supportive behavior within their family groupings; the appeal of the subject matter speaks for itself. There are three other spring 2015 books in this series. Glos., ind. Review covers these Animal Friends titles: Bonobos, Bottlenose Dolphins, and Elephants.
An Arctic Tundra Food Chain
Purchase these for the wealth of information in the writing.
Illustrated with glossy, artistic photos, each slim volume features a continuous, sequential narrative of a food chain, beginning with a producer (plant) and moving through varied predators. For example, Prairie starts with bluestem grass and progresses through the differential grasshopper, prairie shrew, bull snake, and badger. Whole-page inserts about other species, such as the red-tailed hawk, somewhat interrupt the narrative flow. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Odysseys in Nature titles: A Desert Food Chain, A Mountain Food Chain, A Prairie Food Chain, A Rainforest Food Chain, An Arctic Tundra Food Chain, and An Ocean Food Chain.
