Series Review: Learning About Life Cycles"Each title describes an adult's key physical characteristics (major body parts are labeled in the accompanying photo); the quest for a mate; egg production; hatching of young; and stages from crab larva or owl chick to adult... The finely detailed color photographs, most of which are close-ups, extend the text. The ages (in days, weeks, months, etc.) of the animals depicted are clearly presented within curving, color arrows. A photo diagram of the featured animal's life cycle is also included... Thomson's titles, with their easily accessible format, and clear texts and photographs, will appeal to both browsers and report writers."
