About This Book

With engaging full-color photos and lots of fact boxes, Wild Discoveries will draw young readers right into the animal action! A recent New York Times article stated that "each year, researchers report more than 15,000 new species" (8/23/11), so there are plenty of new animals to choose from. The book features fun facts about each new species' abilities and traits, along with full-color photos throughout. Organized by region, special sections also focus on new species that can be found in local backyards and species that have been discovered by kids.
