Children's ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
Prehistoric Mammals (National Geographic Kids Readers, Level 2)
Kathleen Zoehfeld & National Geographic Kids · 2015
74/100
👍 Worth It
A nice change of pace from dinosaur books, this NatGeo Kids reader introduces woolly mammoths and saber-toothed cats with strong photos and helpful pronunciation guides. Booklist praised it for entertaining kids who want to branch out, though facts on any one animal are scattered across pages rather than grouped together.
