Animals Born Alive and Well: A Book about Mammals

nPerfect for introductory science and biology lessons nWhat do mammals have in common? n nThey have fur. They nurse their young. They breathe fresh air. But what else? n nExplore nature and discover a variety of mammals--also known as viviparous animals--and the many ways that they are unique from one another. n nHere are twenty double-page spreads all bright with mammals. Large, tiny, prehistoric, unusual--they are all here in repeatable rhymes, and a million-dollar word (viviparous) is tossed in for good measure. n--The Provident Bookfinder n nBoth simple and surprising, Heller's sprightly picture books use verse and unusually harmonious pictures to introduce the animal kingdom. Chickens lists some of the many good things that come in egg packages, while Animals mentions all manner of mammals. n--Publishers Weekly n nAbout the Explore series: n nDedicated to helping children learn a variety of nonfiction subjects, the Explore series uses pitch-perfect rhyming text and brilliantly illustrated images to make learning fun. n nBooks in the series: n nExplore Language n1.
