ReviewedOrangutans seem harmless, but these apes are powerfully strong. How would they fare against a fierce Komodo dragon? This high-interest title lets reluctant readers determine for themselves, introducing a unique matchup that weighs the physical advantages and attack moves of both animals. Profiles and charts offer additional avenues for comparison, with stats including height and weight. A final narrative pits the two animals against one another. Who will come out on top?
'The Animal Battles books are high interest for kids in grades 3-6. The colors and easy to handle layout of the text make the books very manageable for elementary students. Each book introduces the competitors, discusses their secret weapons, highlights their attack moves, and describes what would happen in the actual battle. Kids will find themselves choosing sides and routing for their favorite. They will not even realize all that they are learning about the two animals. The table of contents, index and glossary help the reader navigate the informative text that is filled with text features. This format is a favorite for students of all ages. They are seen as an adventure book more than a nonfiction text and that sells students on this series.', Pam Zoller, School Librarian, Olathe Public Schools
