Children's Literature
They have got strong jaws, sharp teeth, and eat just about anything: they are jaguars. And what fearsome and beautiful animals they are. Learn about these cunning mammals that live in the rain forest in this installment of the "Animals That Live in the Rain Forest" series. Short, simple sentences present introductory level knowledge, such as identifying features, predators, habitat, and eating habits of this unfortunately endangered species. Accompanying the easy-to-read text are bright color photographs of the jaguars in their natural habitats, pleasing to the eye and very inviting. The brief glossary in the back provides definitions for a few less common words, and suggestions are given for further reading and web surfing on the subject, for the child whose interest is sparked. Great for use in an early elementary classroom to encourage a more focused look at the individual animals in the rain forest. Reviewer: Carly Reagan
