Tween Tuesday Review: X Why Z Animals

Kids ask questions about animals and the editors answer.

The Set-Up
The book's broken up into sections:
Mammals
Reptiles
Amphibians
Insects
Arachnids
Sea Animals
Birds
and even Dinosaurs

Each 2 page spread contains two or three questions, pictures of each animal asked about, and a fun fact. 

My Thoughts:
The pictures are fantastic (Even though some like bats and snakes I wasn't eager to see)
The information's great and memorable 
Did you know that dogs can move each nostril separately, or that crabs breathe through their knees, or that the T-Rex name means Tyrant Lizard King in Greek?
The Q and A set up works really well - providing short and to the point information.

This book is perfect for kids who are curious and for those who love animals. 

Cover Thoughts: Cute
