Real Monsters - School Library Connection
Each book has information about animal families, habitat, diet—everything a student needs to know for either a research project or for personal information. There are nonfiction text features such as maps, words in bold, and photographs with captions. Many of the photographs are graphic and a little gross—kids will love them. If you have students who want to branch out from the typical animals for research or inquiry, this is an excellent series to check out! Recommended.
