Compare and contrast book

"Yes, some of the 18 species of penguins live in cold, polar regions, but most penguins live in warm climates. One species even lives near the equator! These birds 'fly' through the water with flippers instead of the air with wings. Most are black and white, but one species is blue and white. Some have red eyes, and some have yellow eyes. Some even have colorful bursts of feathers atop their heads. What do they all have in common and how are they different? Explore and learn about these . . . birds"--Provided by publisher.

"Seals and sea lions look very similar and it's sometimes difficult to tell which is which. Both of these marine mammals swim with flippers and can be found in oceans all over the world. One has visible ear flaps while the others' ears have no external flaps. One swooshes through the water using their back flippers and the other uses their front flippers to swim. On land, one bounces along and the other can "walk" on their flippers. Learn about the similarities and differences between these marine mammals"--Provided by publisher.

"Using a wide variety of stunning photographs, author Kevin Kurtz poses thought-provoking questions to help readers determine if things are living or nonliving. For example, if most (but not all) living things can move, can any nonliving things move? As part of the Compare and Contrast series, this is a unique look at determining whether something is living or nonliving."--Provided by publisher.
