"Ostriches are the biggest birds on Earth. Not only that, they can run distances at about the same speed as a car on a city street. These adaptations are extraordinary, but other birds have even more bizarre adaptations... The main content addresses curriculum topics such as animal body systems, life cycles, and more with an emphasis on the most fun information out there about birds and their odd adaptations."--Publisher.

"There are so many odd parts of the human body, each page of this volume is able to reveal fascinating adaptations of the body readers didn't even know they wanted to know... Full-color photographs, diagrams, and supplementary sidebars help readers understand human body systems, evolution, and even why people have chins."--Publisher.

"Not many people report being bitten by a frog, but many will notice the weird ooze that seeps out of a toad's skin when they're picked up. These are just two strange adaptations that have helped amphibians survive in their environment. That's also why salamanders need the ability to regrow limbs, or even part of their brain. Curious future scientists learn all about these awesome adaptations as well as other important topics such as the unique amphibian life cycle, all complemented by full-color, up-close photographs."--Publisher.

From gizzards to the many colorful mating displays, bird adaptations are covered in fun, engaging detail throughout this volume.

Full-color photographs and accessible language take readers under the sea to discover the kelp forests. Information about photosynthesis, habitats, and plant structures supplement what readers learn about plants in science class.
