About Mammals / Sobre los mamíferos

A Guide for Children / Una guía para niños



An award-winning first glimpse into the diverse natural world of mammals.

This addition to the acclaimed About... series explains to children in simple, easy-to-understand language what mammals are, what they eat, and where they live.

Beautifully detailed, realistic paintings by wildlife illustrator John Sill introduce readers to the huge variety of mammals, from the tiny white-footed deermouse to the large American bison. An afterword provides more details about the animals featured in the book.

Parents and pre-school and primary-grade teachers will find this an attractive choice for introducing kids to mammals.
