Customer Reviews

Excellent!

My son does not particularly enjoy reading himself, but this book series is one that he happily read. I highly recommend for any child that is interested in animals and some of the gross and interesting things that they do. We went to the zoo after reading this series too and my son had a ball seeing some of the animals from this series. He thinks these books are cool.

tricksy animals make for interested readers

My daughter, who loves animals, adores this book -- it's been her bedtime choice for several nights running. The author simply and accurately explains how various animals use tricks such as camouflage, changing color, playing dead, appearing more ferocious, and other skills to either scare predators away or lure prey in. Definitely recommended for kids who love animals.
