Product Description
A richly conceived and simply conveyed beginners guide to understanding mammals and their respective habitats. Now available in trade paper, ABOUT MAMMALS is a thoughtful first glimpse into the world of nature for young children. In this easy to read, informative follow-up for the critically acclaimed book, ABOUT BIRDS, author Cathryn Sill explains what mammals are, how they live, and what they do. From the unique pattern of hair on a raccoon to the special use of the muskrat's flattened tail, the Sills bring the fantastic world of nature to life. With the help of beautifully detailed illustrations from noted wildlife illustrator, John Sill, ABOUT MAMMALS explains the basic characteristics that all mammals share, while offering a look into the huge variety of animals that fall into this diverse category. An afterword provides further detail on the animals portrayed to inspire young readers to learn more.

Excellent Book!!!!, 2008-04-01
This whole series is great, especially if you live in U.S. Features common mammals they are likely to see (muskrat, squirrel, raccoon, etc.). Great pictures, little text -- perfect for very young children.

My 2 y.o. son likes this book a lot., 2008-02-08
My son really enjoys all of the books in this series. I like that the illustrations are realistic and that species names are included. And as he gets older he really enjoys the additional information that's included in the back of the book!
