Review
This paperback, Level 2 reader, features twelve different animals that are considered among the smallest in the world. After an introduction page, each two-page spread consists of a page on the left featuring the animal's name in a clear decorative font at the top followed by a 4-5 sentence paragraph about the animal. The opposite page is a full page photo of the animal. Some of the photos provide a reference point to the actual size of the animal such as a human hand, a marble or an acorn, while others do not. There is an eight word glossary in the back. The book is lacking a bibliography and a pronunciation guide for the difficult animal names listed, especially since the audience is new readers. The title and photos will provide the shelf appeal.
Overall Book Score: fair
