Leatherback Turtles (The Untamed World)

I think the whole Untamed World series is great (see Black Rhinos and Leatherback Turtles), but the jaguar book is particularly good. It is really hard to find good information about jaguars and this book has it all. It includes sections on fascinating facts, folklore, jaguar cubs, special adaptations, jaguar research and even a jaguar quiz. It is listed as being for kids from 9-12, but it works well for teens and adults too. The book has dozens of impressive color photographs. This highly recommended series is great for both home and school libraries.
