(4) K-3 Zoom In on Backyard Animals series. These basic introductions to common backyard mammals offer cursory facts about appearance, habitat, food, and life cycle. Simple, choppy texts for emergent readers are adequately reflected in the accompanying photos. The appended "Quick Stats" section offers oddly conceived and/or hard-to-grasp size comparisons (e.g., regarding the largest deer species: "a moose weighs less than a soda vending machine"). Glos., ind. Review covers these Zoom In on Backyard Animals titles: Deer and Squirrels[crf1].
