Each series title examines the unique characteristics and behaviors of an apex predator. Clear, lively language takes readers right into the predator's world with effective use of statistics, narrative descriptions, and analogies. Opening pages examine the particular qualities that make the featured animal a top hunter. Subsequent spreads take readers through a year or more of its life cycle, providing information on parent care, social structure, mating, and habitat, along with fascinating predator behaviors. Multiple aspects of predation are covered, ranging from hunting strategies and food sharing to the ways that parents train their young. Vivid photographs show the animals in their natural environment, with scenes of hunting and eating included. Some titles include a close-up view of a key physical feature, such as the teeth of the gray wolf. VERDICT First-rate presentations on a popular subject area. --School Library Journal -- (11/1/2022 12:00:00 AM)
