Another fantastic Spanish Salvaje Series book
The information is current and plentiful as usual with this series. The spanish is correct. The pictures are germane to the explanations on the page. They are also excellent pictures. This book is perfect for 8 to 12 year olds as a reference and for just reading. The children want to read it all at once. It definitely gives them everything they want to know about deer; their habitat, food, etc. This also makes it great for the teacher to read before talking about deer.

El Mapache is right on
Excellent pictures, great information and easy to read. The America Salvaje series did it again. Sections on babies and interactions with man makes this a spanish reference book that's fun to read. Classification, habitat, food, etc. is done beautifully for 8 to 12 year olds. A must book from a must series.

Fantastic
A great book in the America Salvaje series. Pictures couldn't be better. The information is as up to date as you can get. Placing skunks in their own family instead of with Mustilidae (weasels) is an example. I use this series with second graders (it's hard to find good second grade Spanish reference books on specific animals) but this book is definitely great for 8 to 12 year olds. Easy to read with plenty of information. A must reference and reading book. ... Read more
