(4) K-3 Jungle Babies of the Amazon Rain Forest series. Following the series formula, two-page chapters introduce the South American tapir calf and discuss physical characteristics, differences between adults and babies, habitat, behavior, defenses, and growth. The text is simple and easy to read; the close-up well-labeled photographs make this rather odd-looking mammal look cute. New readers will find this first nonfiction book accessible. A map and picture glossary support the text. Reading list. Ind.
