Each volume in Animal Marvels is filled with colorful, true-to-life illustrations, a wealth of valuable information, and startling facts about all types of animals. Each title also includes information-packed tables that are indispensable files to help young readers learn about and understand each species. A glossary, comprehensive index, and a detailed, full-color map of the world indicating where each species can be found complement the text.They bite; they sting; they spit. They taste bad; they stink; they scam. They are tricksters who use mimicry and camouflage to fool their predators into thinking they are what they're not. They run; they hide; they flee. Some animals give up their feathers, a limb, or a tail -- while they fly, swim, or scamper to safety. These are but a few of the fascinating, fabulous, and phenomenal ways that animals keep themselves and their kin out of harm's way.
