From School Library Journal:
ea. vol: illus. by Louise Nevett & Tessa Barwick. 32p. charts. diags. photogs. index. (First Sight Series). Watts. 1987. PLB $10.90. Grade 3-6 These three titles are well orga nized and sport eye-catching photo graphs. The texts are easy to read and lucid, but sometimes stilted. However, the large print, well-designed pages, vi sually appealing photographs and dia grams, and popular subjects will attract both casual browsers and reluctant read ers. Each book also has charts showing the physical structures of the subjects and comparing different species by size and shape. Since Gorillas and Chimpan zees covers only these two types of apes, more is learned about individual species. There are instructions on making chimp masks exhibiting different emotions. This title is better organized and more visually appealing than The Gorilla (Crestwood, 1986) by Carl Green. Birds of Prey has superb drawings displaying the shapes and purposes of talons and beaks of different species. A chart offers a spotter's guide, giving aerial views of the more common birds and instructions on making a life-sized chart with silhou ettes. Discovering Birds of Prey (Bookwright, 1986) by Mike Thomas is more specific on species. Although there are numerous books about sharks, Wheeler's book has the added appeal of color photographs displaying the ex ploits of its subject in such gory detail that even the sensationalist should come away satisfied. There are also instruc tions on drawing a life-sized chart. Any of these titles would be useful and enjoy able additions to public and school li brary collections. Cynthia M. Sturgis, Ledding Library, Milwaukie, Oreg.
