(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Kevin O'Malley. There's plenty to be learned from roadkill, claims the trained-biologist author, who investigates these dead animals herself and interviews people who have built careers around it. (Even though Montgomery warns readers not to study these animals at home, her enthusiasm may override kids' caution.) The humorous tone, plentiful illustrations, and gross-out subject matter will draw in a certain type of reluctant reader, but there's tons of scientific information here, too. Bib., ind.
