摘要
Animals Up Close shows you amazing close-ups of the animal kingdom -- just as if you were looking at them through a pair of binoculars. This beautifully, and realistically, illustrated series examines some of the more personal aspects of animal species from elephants to earwigs. Readers will see the incredible diversity of species as nature created them. Six intriguing volumes include interesting details about physical appearance, habitats, communication, and breeding. This series also explores the likenesses and the differences between young and adult animals.
The males and females of each animal species are not exactly alike. They might look different or sound different -- maybe even smell different -- and they often play different roles in their animal families. Sometimes these differences are distinct, sometimes barely noticeable. Discover why the differences within species are important, and how animals recognize their own kind in Animal Males and Females.

Gr 1-3-These three series entries about various aspects of animal life all have the same format. Brief text is interspersed among numerous full-color, captioned illustrations. The language is a bit too sophisticated for new readers, but the focus here is really on the pictures. Each page features realistic drawings of many different animals. The pictures show little regard for the creatures' environments (animals living in different places are often shown together) and relative size, but they are eye-catching and have the look of old-fashioned prints. Each title features a foldout spread. Of the three, Eggs is the most problematic. A drawing of different-sized eggs superimposed upon one another look more like one egg divided into parts. This book also states that "Besides the platypus, the hedgehog is the only other mammal that lays eggs." Hedgehogs are live-bearing mammals, and the other egg-layer is the echidna. Although more accurate, the information provided in the other two offerings is rather random and is not in-depth enough for reports. However, Males and Females and Trails and Tracks will appeal to browsers, who will be drawn to the pictures.-Arwen Marshall, formerly at New York Public Library (c) Copyright 2010.

Simply (and blandly) written texts introduce a variety of mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects and explain aspects of their behavior. The color artwork is nicely rendered but generally too soft-focus for readers to identify components of the illustrations; each volume contains a foldout tableau. Bib., glos., ind.
