(4) K-3 Investigate series. Using a question-and-answer format, these books give broad pictures of what people and animals need and how their physical makeup helps them get it (e.g., fish breathing underwater with gills, beavers' sharp incisors helping them gnaw tree bark). The explanations range from age-appropriate to overly simplistic to too complicated for the target audience. Photos are mostly of animals; Teeth includes many diagrams. Glos., ind. Review covers these Investigate titles: Animal Characteristics, Animal Needs, Life Cycles, and Teeth.
