A good review of animal adaptations. We liked that it had good photographs to go along with the text.

I bought this book to teach animal adaptation to my kids. I thought it was excellent! Fun pictures, and good textual explanations. My daughter was so engaged she finished reading it after I could only do the first half with them in one setting.
