After the Dinosaurs: Mammoths and Fossil Mammals (I Can Read Book 2)
Kindergarten-Grade 3—This title examines a variety of ancient mammals. It opens with a brief introduction, followed by a spread devoted to each animal. The creatures are compared to things that readers will recognize (e.g., "size of a small dog"). The pronunciation guide is a welcome feature. The finely detailed watercolor illustrations emphasize the unusual features of each species. This title is more substantive than Helen Frost'sWoolly Mammoth(Capstone, 2005) as it focuses on more than one ancient animal in more complex sentences. Add this book if your students are addicted to prehistory.—Christine Markley, Washington Elementary School, Barto, PACopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
