(4) K-3 Asian Animals series. Each volume features basic facts about physical attributes, diet, habitat, and social structures of the featured animal. The texts are choppy but easy to read, and captioned photographs of varying quality are punctuated with interesting sidebars; maps intended to show the animals' region of habitation lack detail. Overall the books deliver adequate introductions. Glos., ind. Review covers these Asian Animal titles: Giant Pandas, Gibbons, and Orangutans.
