      Gr 4-7-Unusual animals and the scientists who study them share the spotlight in this well-conceived series. Facts about each creature's physical traits and behavior are smoothly mixed in with information about the conditions that make them so hard to spot in the wild. The quotes from scientists and descriptions of their work provide personal connections to both animals and people, capturing the excitement of spotting a secretive animal and learning through observation. Every spread includes a "look closer" text box with additional data. Photographs depict the animals and their habitats as well as the scientists working in the field. All of these animals face serious population threats, but readers also learn how the featured scientists are working to preserve the species through activism and education. VERDICT Excellent introductions to rare wildlife and how experts learn about them.
