Review by School Library Journal Review
PreS-Gr 1-These new titles in this well-established series provide basic information on various animals: feeding habits, reproduction, habits, and more. The large font size, simple sentences, clean layout, and pared down back matter make these selections ideal for readers making their first forays into nonfiction. The information presented is to be expected. However, what sets these offerings apart are the sumptuous, full-page photographs, featuring these breathtaking beasts in their natural habitats. A quick and effective way to beef up any 590 section. (c) Copyright 2015. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.

Review by Horn Book Review
Vivid photographs providing up-close views of the daily lives and habits of the title birds are the highlights of these slim volumes. Minimal text touches on habitat, appearance, food, and offspring, and supplies a folk-story answer to a question about each creature (e.g., "Why do flamingos like salty water?" "Why is the vulture bald?"). Reading list, websites. Ind. [Review covers these Amazing Animals titles: Flamingos, Hawks, and Vultures.] (c) Copyright 2015.
