(4) K-3 Look Once, Look Again series. Photographs by Dwight Kuhn. On one page, a photo of an animal's body part is paired with a brief written clue. On the overleaf, another photo reveals the full animal, and a couple of sentences offer basic facts. The photo layout on each double-page spread is cramped: pictures of one animal on the left page and another animal's body part on the right both run into the gutter. Simple related activities are appended to each book. Bib., glos., ind.
