Review by School Library Journal Review
Gr 1-3-Each volume provides a basic introduction to the title animal, including its physical features, habitat, food, daily life, dangers from predators, and similar topics. A world map indicates where the animals live, and a "Tracker's Guide" offers captioned photos of tracks, droppings, and other signs. The straightforward texts are accompanied by full-color photographs in an uncluttered layout. These titles are for a younger audience than those in the "Animal Groups" series (Heinemann Library) and are comparable to "The World of Mammals" titles (The Child's World) and the "Early Bird Nature Books" (Lerner). Acceptable choices where additional materials about one or more of the animals featured are needed.-Kathy Piehl, Minnesota State University, Mankato (c) Copyright 2010.

Review by Horn Book Review
Each volume treats one animal in its particular habitat, describing how the animal moves and eats, has young, and grows up in its natural setting. Easy-to-read type and colorful photos (with a few blurry illustrations as exceptions) make the books picture-rich sources of introductory information for beginning readers. Reading list. Glos., ind. [Review covers these Wild World titles: Watching Bison in North America, Watching Dolphins in the Ocean, Watching Grizzly Bears in North America, Watching Reindeer in Europe, Watching Kangaroos in Australia, Watching Lions in Africa, Watching Giraffes in Africa, and Watching Orangutans in Asia.] (c) Copyright 2010.
