Migrating with the Humpback Whale

June 1, 2011

Gr 2-4-These books follow the yearly migratory patterns of the featured animals and cover anatomy, diet, mating, parenting, climate change as caused by people, pollution, and more. Animals' roles in the food chain as predator or prey are explained briefly. Maps depict traditional routes and specific populations' territories. Each topic in the table of contents is covered in a glossy spread, with clear color photographs dominant over brief text that includes terms in bold type defined in the glossary and measurements of anatomy, habitat, and routes. Go-to nonfiction for animal enthusiasts.-S. McClendon, Friends School of Atlanta, Decatur, GA
