Description

Discover the amazing ways animals adapt to the most extreme regions on Earth. Fiery temps and little rain make the desert a difficult place to survive. But several animals from fennec foxes to kangaroo rats have adapted to these harsh conditions. Find out how their unique behaviors and body parts allow them to call this biome home. With stunning photographs and fact-filled, easy-to-read text, Amazing Animal Adaptations are perfect nonfiction books for pre-readers and early readers alike.

Reviews

This series describes how animals adapt by using body coverings, body parts, and behavior; each title covers a different geographic region. The full color photographs help students understand the text and concepts discussed as well as hold their attention. Younger students can also learn about the components of nonfiction books. The summary chart at the end of the book offers a good review of each animal's adaptations. Recommended.-- "Library Media Connection"
