SLJ Review of Animal Battles
The titles in this series have animals facing off in a mostly realistic, albeit dramatic, battle. The animals pitted against each other in each book are from similar habitats and could cross paths in the wild. While there aren’t graphic photos of the battle, there are photos of the predators capturing their food. Each title begins by announcing the competitors, and employs short paragraphs and infographics of competitor profiles.
The layout of each page is eye-catching with an action photo of each animal and white text on a dark background, which is easy to read. Readers are informed of what secret weapons and attack moves to expect before the competitors stand off. Back matter includes a glossary, an index, and additional resources. A similar read includes the “Who Would Win” series.
VERDICT: For elementary readers who enjoy nonfiction drama.
