There are some outrageous animals in this book for anyone looking for fun facts about animals and how they adapt to their environment. Some examples in the book are a fish that walks on land, a frog that can make its own sunscreen and an insect that can become invisible. They have learned to adapt because of their changing environment or to outwit a predator. These are the key to their very survival. There are many marine and land animals described in this book. The animals range from bats to lizards and everything in-between. I would recommend this for older children and anyone who is doing research. This would make a good comparison source. ( )
