Mammals

What is the largest mammal of all? Why do cats rub their cheeks on things? How do the big ears of a jack rabbit help it stay cool? Mammals provides an introduction to mammals and their physical characteristics. Readers will explore the life cycle and behaviors of these warm-blooded, big-brained creatures, along with their adaptations to various habitats. The volume’s special features include maps, diagrams, fun facts, glossary, resource list, and index.

How do animals hunt, escape, and communicate? And how do scientists distinguish one animal group from another? World Book’s acclaimed Animal Lives series introduces the main animal groups to students with a primary reading level of grades 3 to 5 and teaches them basic principles of scientific classification.
