Animal Faces on Snow and Ice

by Hannah Kate Sackett, Martin Camm

Animal Faces is a new series of books that considers how the faces of animals have been uniquely designed to help them successfully survive in their habitats. In close up, accurate illustrations, readers will be invited to explore the features of each animal’s face that helps it find food, communicate, taste, sense danger, and attracts a mate. See how the otter uses its keen sense of smell to seek out food, and discover how the emperor penguin protects its eggs and chicks from the icy arctic temperatures by holding them on its feet under a flap of feathers. A special section at the back of each book gives the facts behind the faces each of the faces featured in the books, including where the animal lives, what it feeds on, and how large it gets. Supplements school curriculum in science.
