“Kids are always going to capture bugs in jars and chase lizards into the weeds, not because they’re cruel but because they’re curious. The Animal Look-Alikes series funnels this curiosity into teachable moments by providing young ones with the tools to look at these animals with a scientific eye.” —Booklist
