Review of "Amazing Animals," by David Drew

 Review of

Amazing Animals, by David Drew, ISBN 0763567302

Five out of five stars

A few of the unusual characteristics of animals

 Six animals with unusual characteristics are featured in this book. The animals and their specific characteristic are:

*) The tongue of a frog

*) The (back) feet of a kangaroo

*) The eyes of a hawk

*) The wings of an albatross

*) The trunk of an elephant

*) The arms of an octopus.

 The specialization of these organs of these specific animals is an excellent, albeit brief introduction to how specialized some animals are. Each of them has developed a specific characteristic that allows it to live in their specific environmental niche.

 This book was written so that it can be read to large groups of children. The text and images are large, so they can be seen from some distance. It is also very educational children have a natural interest in animals and this book will satisfy and amplify that interest.
