Pebble Plus: Weird Animals series.
Frogfish, with their "bumpy bodies" and bright colorings, make for engaging early science subjects. This volume shares basic information about the animal's features and explains how well suited it is to its environment. The text, though easy to read, can be vague ("Frogfish have weird body parts"). Photographs of a variety of spectacular-looking frogfish are the book's highlight. Reading list. Glos., ind.

Pebble Plus: Weird Animals series.
This book gives very basic information about the aye-aye's features and behavior and explains how this marsupial is well suited to its Madagascar treetop habitat. Unfortunately, the text can be vague, and the aye-aye's dark fur blends in with the background in some (repetitive) photos, making it difficult to distinguish the creature's distinctive long tail and clawlike hands. Reading list. Glos., ind.
