PreS-Gr 3-- Basic facts enhance vividly colored illustrations, while plastic overlays produce a magical change of perspective. Readers see the animal in his den and then, upon turning the overlay, get a ``bear's-eye view'' from the inside of the cave. These pages lend excitement and sustain interest. The clean, precise illustrations with their brilliant acrylic colors catch and hold the eye, and the intricate details give lifelike qualities to the creatures. The artistic appeal of and fascinating scientific data in these books will attract and hold an audience. Excellent examples of how a lot of information can be put into small, concise volumes. --Joyce Richards, Prairie Grove Elementary School, AR
