Find all of what you didn’t know about mammals is this engaging and thought provoking new series. The chapters take you around the world visiting many of the over 6,631 mammal species (This number verified by the World Animal Foundation). The book is a fun exploration based on questions, 99 from cover to cover.

Questions are placed on the right side of the open book. Turn the page and you find the answer and an explanation. The format is a great way to think, learn, and remember what you read. A few examples include:

• True or false? If a mammal is a predator, its eyes are set in the front of its head.
• How long does a cow chew its food?
• How many different colors can a dog see?
• True or False? A female lion is a better hunter than a male lion.

Excellent art work compliments the text and give each page a nice balance.. The back of the book includes a helpful 4-page Mammals Chart, Glossary, and an Index to help you find your favorite mammal.

Mammals Unlocked is perfect for upper elementary and beyond. The level of curiosity is enhanced with each fact unlocked. A great gift for this upcoming holiday season.
