Piranhas. Mosquitoes. Crocodiles. They’re animals with attitude. Cranky critters who’d rather bite than make nice. Or are they? Could there be a good reason for their bad behavior?
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5-Children intrigued by world records and trivia will find much to like in these two visually appealing books. Double-page spreads feature bright, close-up color photos and a few paragraphs of text. The names of the animals are in different large-sized typefaces, and one-sentence "teaser" facts draw attention to the subjects. Boxes give "vital statistics"-where the animal lives, its size, and what it eats. The laziest animals are a bit of a mixed bag and include more obvious examples like the three-toed sloth and the edible snail as well as the less likely, such as the cat. The aggressive animals are pretty much the standard ones like the tiger, crocodile, and piranha. Photo galleries at the end also have two blank spaces for the inclusion of pictures of "someone who should join this club." While the information is brief, the sophisticated language makes these titles more suited to slightly older children than newly independent readers. Of the two books, Meanest will probably have more immediate appeal because of its popular subject material. Report writers will not find these titles especially useful, but they are eye-catching and should find a ready and enthusiastic audience among browsers.
