Review

Familiar or not the faces that stare out at readers are animated and amazing. Each of the 25 animals tells their story when prompted by a question concerning their unique facial features. Important and interesting pieces of science are presented, information that is sure to lead to more research by readers.

Colored backgrounds perfectly show off the intimate close up of each animal making their faces pop off the page. The illustrations themselves are intricate depictions created using torn paper. Early grade students will keep this off the library shelf.

Creature Features is a WOW book that should be considered for Cream of the Crop.

Overall Book Score: excellent
