Interesting nonfiction about unusual animal adaptations. Some are kind of gross (I don't want to be around a sneezing dog, ever, because of what lives in its nostrils). Some passages work for mentor texts, but not as many as I'd like, given the interest level of the content.
This amazing book about animals adaptations will surely hold your interest and the interest of your kids. With the real photos, amazing and disgusting facts it will keep you wanting to read more.
This informative book is full of gross facts about the animal kingdom. It will be of total interest to most boys!
But definitely not MY cup of tea.
The reading level is kind of high so I will say 4th grade and up.
