From School Library Journal Kindergarten-Grade 3-This look at animal social behavior is illustrated with large， well-composed watercolors. An introduction sets forth the reasons why creatures live in groups such as a matriarchy or a harem and the chapters that follow are filled with explanations and examples. Writing in an informal manner， Kaner addresses readers as "you" and uses questions to involve them in the text. Information is clearly presented in short paragraphs. In "Let's eat，" the author describes how specific species， such as leafcutter ants or pelicans， work together to find food. In the next chapter， special methods animals use to protect themselves are enumerated. "Bringing up baby" discusses how various creatures keep their offspring safe and healthy. The other topics covered are animals at play (two games that teach children to cooperate are included)， grooming， and migration. Not a prime source for reports， this book provides tidbits of organized information that will widen young browsers' understanding of the subject.Nancy Call， Santa Cruz Public Libraries， Aptos， CACopyright © Reed Business Information， a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
