The photographs are wonderful and I love that the reading level is low enough for children to read independently. For teachers looking for engaging high interest-low vocabulary books, I would highly recommend these books!-- Reading Power Gear blog This well-conceived series examines a variety of animals who share common attributes. . . .High-quality photographs feature two images on each spread, which often strongly complement each other. An impressive close-up of an owl's eyes paired with a wider view of its talons about to grab a mouse, for example, effectively highlights the creature's hunting characteristics. Closing pages list follow-up questions to extend readers' analysis, along with prompts to imagine new animals with these adaptations (such as wings, feathers, or side fins); both have solid potential to spur Common Core activities.-- School Library Journal
