An entertaining and educational book about cute, but deadly, rarely known animals. Each photograph is accompanied by several bits of information. There are paragraphs highlighting the strangest facts about the animal. And a sidebar detailing the animal’s name, species name, size, diet, habitat, and predators and threats. The information is supported by David DeGrand’s cartoons. Useful vocabulary words are in boldface throughout the text and included in the back. And now I know how to pronounce the word Axolotl- pronounced: ax-uh-LOT-ulz! (New Jersey Garden State Children's Book Award 2021)
