Author Description

From prickly porcupines to slippery seals, animals are wonderfully diverse. This popular zoology series for elementary students studies mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, and invertebrates from around the world. Beautiful photos pair with factual life science text to explore the featured creature's appearance, habitat, behaviors, and life cycle. Each title also includes a related folktale or myth for cross-curricular learning. Like deer and antelope, pronghorn are amazing animals--some of the fastest on the planet! This zoology title for children, filled with beautiful photos and factual life science text, examines the mammal's two-toed hooves and other parts of its anatomy, feeding habits, life cycle, and fawn care. Its prairie and desert habitats are described, too. A folktale from the Blackfeet people explains how the god Na'pi gave the pronghorn its grassland home. Part of Creative Education's popular Amazing Animals series, this book supports elementary-aged readers with captions, on-page definitions, additional resources, and an index.
