“Is a Camel a Mammal? All about Mammals” is a godsend for parents wanting to introduce the marvels of mammals to their children.
Through this book, children will learn:
- mammals have hair or fur. Wool is just what we call the hair of a lamb
- the world’s smallest mammal is the Pygmy shrew
- the world’s largest mammal is the blue whale (and is equivalent to 27 elephants, each weighing 1200 pounds)
- bat mums give birth to just one little bathing each year
- Mom armadillos give birth to either four boys or four girls
- how the snowshoe hare changes colour during spring and winter to blend in with its surroundings
- how skunks ward off their predators with a foul-smelling spray
- that camels can survive for weeks without drinking
Written in rhyming words so characteristic of Dr. Seuss and narrated by a beloved character, The Cat in the Hat, this book is sure to appeal to children (and animal enthusiasts who never mind picking up fun funky facts).
