Series review: Jump!
"Each of these books focuses on an animal that jumps,
and introduces all necessary facts about this animal or animal group. Each
volume has chapters specific to that animal, as well as all having chapters with
general facts such as eating habits. Colorful and filled with photographs, these
works can be read aloud to younger children or used for independent reading by
older students. The books can be used to introduce animals in elementary school,
and provide guidance on how to study animals for individual
research."
