Additional text

Have you ever wondered how animals can survive such extreme living conditions all over the world, like the extreme cold or the extreme hot? If you have then this book is for you! This book is super fun not only is packed full of how different animals survive different extremes, but it is also a fun interactive book. This book asks the reader question like who has this humpback? and just a small image of an animal so the reader can guess what it is. When you lift the page to reveal the animal and read all about it. My favorite part is reading about the camel and how he survives in the desert.
This is a fun book. I really liked reading how animals are able to survive different extreme conditions. The pages are very sturdy, which is perfect for younger readers like my little sister! - Liam - Age 9, Kids' Book Buzz

Report

"Quite a decent little biology book - I normally don't like books like this that ignore the science of evolution, but even I have to admit it would be a bit too much. That said, this is all about evolution - and what five specific animals have done to make themselves fit into their environments. So the polar bear's fur, the dolphin's physique, the camel's hump and more all get introduced through a window in a bonus flap in front of every left-hand page, with three factoids about the animal concerned. The right-hand page of what becomes a three-page spread clocks up four other animals as bonuses, and what they've done to allow themselves life in extreme environments. Gentle, bright and a good little stepping stone, it will serve many an educator of the very young." John Lloyd, reviewer
"A beautifully illustrated and fact-filled cut-out book for young readers, who learn how different animals survive the hottest heat or the coldest cold, underwater or in the sky. A great resource -- so lovely to look at -- for school, public and home libraries." Literary R, Reviewer
"I can't wait to use this book with my class. It will be a great addition to my science lesson over animal adaptations. The book length, short passages, and colorful pictures are perfect for my student population." Jennifer B, Educator
"An engaging, informative read with colorful images to help readers learn new word meanings. It looks like there are cutout sections of the page for kids to guess what adaptation comes next and what animal it belongs to. This text interaction paired with the beautiful artwork will make for an entertaining read for youngsters. Whether for read aloud to younger kids or for lower elementary self-reading, this book has plenty of academic potential. Great book for a budding future zoologist!" NetGalley, Educator
