Beluga Whales (Animals of the Snow and Ice) [Library Binding]

Elaine Landau (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 2-4 Basic facts are presented on two animal species inhabiting the coldest regions on Earth the Arctic and Antarctic, respectively. In each title, a succinct text briefly describes the animals' distinctive characteristics, emphasizing those adaptations that enable them to survive the extreme cold. The animals' natural habitats diet birth, care, and development of young threats to their survival and conservation efforts are also included. Throughout most of each title, a full-page, or page and a quarter, sharp, color photograph of the featured creatures alternates with a page of text. An addendum of miscellaneous facts, a short list for further reading, and some websites are appended. Landau's smoothly written, well-illustrated titles are right on target for the intended audience.
