Animal Skins

By Mary Holland

Book Overview

Fur, feathers and scales are all animal coverings or skins. Animals use their skin to stay warm and dry, protect themselves or hide or even to warn other animals to stay away. Following Animal Noses, Animal Tails, Animal Ears, Animal Eyes, Animal Mouths (NSTA/CBC Outstanding Trade Science Award), and Animal Legs, Mary Holland continues her photographic Animal Anatomy and Adaptations series by the many different ways that animals use and rely on their skin covering adaptations to survive in their habitats.

Beautiful book for a child's library

Mary Holland's Animal Skins book is part of her photographic Animal Anatomy and Adaptations series. Animal Skins looks at a variety of animals and their skin coverings and how those coverings help them survive. The photography in the hard-cover book is beautiful, with close-ups so readers can see great detail of the animals. The wording is simple to understand and written for the kindergarten to grade 3 child. I'm excited to share the book with my grandkids who I know will love reading it over and over. I look forward to reading more books in this Anatomy and Adaptation series. What great books for a child's library. I won the book in a contest and was not required to write a review. The opinions are my own.
