Early Bird Nature Books series.

In very basic prose (with a few small errors), this book details ostrich facts such as their physical characteristics, diet, family life, and predators. Clear color photos illustrate the text, although the captions sometimes interrupt its flow. The book's focus (including a section at the end for adults on "sharing" the book) is on early biological vocabulary and science concepts. Glos., ind.

Baby Animals series.
Photographs by
Richard Hewett.
Appealing to children's fascination with baby animals, the books in this series use a simple text to follow each baby from its earliest days until it's old enough to be on its own. Each book has a different setting: the wild, a wildlife preserve, and a wild animal park. The quality of the color photographs is uneven. A time line and further information about each species are appended. [Review covers these Baby Animals titles: A Harbor Seal Pup Grows Up, A Kangaroo Joey Grows Up, A Tiger Cub Grows Up.]

This simple text will appeal to children's fascination with baby animals, as it follows Puck the Caribbean flamingo from hatchling to seven-month-old. Although he lives in Busch Gardens, Florida, no interaction with humans is shown--just the birds. The color photographs are uneven in quality. A time line and further information about flamingos are included at the back.

Accompanied by an array of captioned color photos, this simple, though choppy, text conveys basic information about the behavior and life cycle of cats. A "word detective" feature has readers find and define terms used in the book, and a note to adults includes uninspired activities and obvious questions for discussion. Glos., ind.

These introductions use simple, somewhat condescending language and numerous color photographs to discuss the lives and habitats of these mammals. Difficult words have pronunciations next to them, and the books begin with a list of relevant words, which readers are encouraged to look for in the text. A section for adults at the end of the books talks about reading with a child, offering questions for discussion. Glos., ind.
