Table of ContentsReviews"Each book's title question serves as the primary focus while also leading into more general animal information. Coverage of the vampire bat, for example, features many facts about its blood-based diet but also touches on bat colonies, echolocation, size, and physical features. In Where Do Worms Go in Winter?, the explanation of how the creatures move and breathe leads nicely into the ways they try to survive the cold. When the answer to the main question is more nuanced, results are mixed. The fact that not all flamingos are pink is noted (Why Are Flamingos Pink?), for example, but the difference between gliding and true flight is not as clear as it might be in Do Flying Fish Really Fly? Photographs are large and clear, providing a good variety of examples to support the text. Each title ends with a simple craft activity that includes written instructions but limited visual support.
