Animal Homes and Societies

School Library Journal

Gr 4-6-- A beautifully illustrated introduction to the social habits of wild animals, arranged in a large, attractive format. Species of mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, and insects with solitary life styles, those with nuclear and extended families, and those that live in large groups are presented. Full-color photographs are accompanied by captions that highlight information from the text. Amazing Animal Groups (National Geographic, 1981; o.p.) by Suzanne Venino is also illustrated in full color, but is for a younger audience. --Barbara B.
