COPY ISBN
K-Gr 3 These overviews introduce animals that are the largest of their group. Perspective is provided by comparing each animals size to that of humans at the beginning of the book, and to other animals of its own species at the end. The picture-book format helps to stress the point of size, allowing for full-page and -spread pictures of the animals and large range maps. The pages are decorative without being cluttered. Back matter includes an illustrated glossary and a brief-yet-varied list of further reading. Online researchers are directed to the publishers homepage. This series is perfect for browsing and suitable for reports. From the brown bear to the red kangaroo, the animal kingdom is well covered here in its girth and stature.

Simple texts introduce the habitats, diets, life cycles, physical characteristics, behaviors, and unique adaptations for survival of these amazingly large mammals. Stock photos, including close-ups of adults and their young, illustrate the pages. The information is limited and there are some goofy section heads (e.g., "Beary Big," "What's In a Name?"), but the books are generally useful. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these More SuperSized! titles: Brown Bear, Siberian Tiger, Southern Elephant Seal, Capybara, Killer Whale, and Red Kangaroo.
