| ZOOLOGY/BIOLOGY: SERIES & OTHERS |
| Books by Millicent Selsam. I can't recommend this author too highly, although you have to screen some evolutionary content. Her books are written to children, and treat them as competent scientists, naturalists, and observers. No twaddle! If I had young children, this would be the first author I'd look for. She has many, many titles. Some "I Can Read" titles include: Benny's Animals Let's Get Turtles Egg to Chick Seeds and More Seeds Greg's Microscope Terry and the Caterpillars Hidden Animals Tony's Birds And more, in other formats! How Animals Talk How to be a Nature Detective How Plants Move and many, many more A fairly new series of books, "Step into Reading" has a number of books that are easy to read. Some titles: Dolphins! Hungry, Hungry Sharks Monster Bugs S-S-Snakes Whales, the Gentle Giants Wild, Wild Wolves |
