Weird World of Animals

It's not easy for animals to survive in the wild! They face predators, starvation, and environmental dangers. That's why many species have evolved to have some seriously cool—and sometimes downright weird—adaptations. This high-interest and motivating science series engages readers with some truly amazing animal adaptations. They'll learn how adaptations, such as armor, coloring, and flight, help certain animals not only survive but thrive. Thought-provoking fact boxes, supportive graphic organizers, and stunning photographs complement the accessible text.
