New Children's Nonfiction
Animal Faces by Darlyne A. Murawski.
Get up close and personal with creatures from the wild in this
stunningly designed photographic book, shot by a National Geographic
photographer. Each image offers an intimate view of an animal's face
that will engage and fascinate children of all ages. As they look
again, they'll learn about all sorts of wildlife and their fantastic
features: a furry cat's whiskers help it find its way in the dark; a
chicken's feathers protect its thin, sensitive skin; a chameleon's eyes
actually swivel; and an elephant uses its long trunk to pick up food
and give itself a shower. The varied menagerie ranges from squirrels to
starfish. It's a truly appealing package.
