Mob of Meerkats

Meerkats, the mammal native to Southern Africa, live in groups called mobs. Covers habitat, social structure, and diet. Asks and answers questions such as "What jobs to Meerkats have?" "How do Meerkats care for their young?" and "What dangers do meerkats face?" The photos are very clear and the book design is inviting. Each page contains about two paragraphs of text. Words in the glossary are in bold. There is an index and bibliography. Karen Woodworth Roman, Children's Science Book Review
