The books in this excellent series help children ages 5 to 9 understand how senses, behavior, adaptations, and anatomy relate within animal species. In Animal Homes, children learn that fur, feathers, and scales are all animal coverings or skins. Animals use their skin to stay warm and dry, protect themselves or hide or even to warn other animals to stay away. A fascinating and insightful series from award-winning nature photographer and environmental educator Mary Holland.
