ANIMAL SCIENCE
AGES 812

Each story, with its gentle call to action, will inspire young
conservationists and sow an early love for nature in all its
magnificence and wonder.

Humorous, fact-filled, and chock-full of fun, this natural

history series, illustrated by Neal Layton, is the perfect hook
for even the most reluctant young scientists. A lighthearted
tone and cartoon illustrations enliven the sometimes gory
gross-out elements of the natural world.
