Creature Features: Twenty-Five Animals Explain Why They Look the Way They Do

This book invites students to do their own investigation. Great style that is easy to emulate while going beyond traditional animal reports ie: famous people, historical places…. Plus it is a fun read with incredible illustrations.

Such a fun book that gives cool information on different animals!

Very cute. I love talking about animal adaptations, and this book does it in an accurate and funny manner.

Steve Jenkins books are such high quality. This one is beautiful and full of information presented in an appealing way.

This is a wonderful book for kids. Very fun to figure out why animals have certain colorations or features. Super well written but short and to the point.

We gave this as a gift. It looked to be very high quality, but I can't comment on how much kids liked/disliked the story.

I read this to my 6th graders as an introduction to a STEM activity, where they had to create new adaptations for an animal that had to move to a new biome. The book had a lot of interesting adaptations that sparked some creativity in my students brains.

Wonderful look at animals telling their own information about why various features of their bodies are important.
