The Life Cycle of a Koala
Grade 2-4-These books open with a description of the animal or  insect, followed by a discussion of the meaning of the term  "life cycle." Then, life stages are highlighted and clearly  explained scientifically. How humans are adversely affecting the  creatures' lives and what students can do about it are also  discussed. An abundance of clear, colorful, attractively  bordered photographs and illustrations enhance the fact-filled  texts. These well-written titles will be used for research and  pleasure reading.Sandra Welzenbach, Villarreal Elementary  School, San Antonio, TXCopyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
