DESCRIPTION:
what is it?!? E. G. Bray Bought the book because of the weird creature on the front and to encourage curiosity of beginning readers/first graders. Beautiful photography! Informative text! But what IS that creature on the cover?!? It's not in the book. Cover Susan S. Keller I haven't seen the book, but to answer the other reviewer - the critter on the cover is an olm, I believe.. MM'S mom said Very deceiving. This is very deceiving. The animal on the cover is not included on the book itself. If there is less than a star ratingI would've given it.
Though not explicitly stated in the text, the book is arranged into broadly generalized categories including symbiotic relationships, reproductive oddities, defensive adaptations, and bizarre ways of procuring food. The majority of animals included are insects, amphibians, and ocean life, but they represent a variety of physical exceptionalities, such as the archerfish’s ability to shoot its prey with water, or the spittlebug’s use of its own saliva to build its nest, that will delight kids with their weirdness.
