From Booklist
Gr. 3^-5. This title in the Animals in Order series provides a basic overview of rodents, placing them within the context of scientific classification. Diagrams and simple definitions help readers grasp terms and concepts such as phyla, chordates, and genera. Miller then describes 14 species of common rodents and their unique traits, grouping them by habitat--fields and gardens, houses, woods, and ponds, streams, and marshes. The periodic direct address ("If someone asked you to describe a rodent, what would you say?"), interesting side facts (beavers can weigh as much as 100 pounds), and the many color close-up photos will catch and hold readers' interest. Miller offers recommendations for studying the animals in their various habitats, though she neglects to mention some of the dangers of getting too up-close and personal; for example, rats carry diseases and can aggressively attack humans, and squirrels can harbor rabies. Glossary; list of books, videos, and Web sites for further study. Shelle Rosenfeld --This text refers to the Library Binding edition.
