Publisher Description:
Beavers, the first book in the new middle-grade nonfiction Superhero Field Guide series by Rachel Poliquin and award-winning illustrator Nicholas John Frith, is a delightfully informative, laugh-out-loud full-color look at the most unsuspecting of animal heroes, perfect for readers who like their facts served with a large dose of humor.
Meet Elmer, an ordinary beaver. He may not be as mighty as a lion or as dangerous as a shark. He may be squat and brown. But never underestimate a beaver. I can almost hear you saying, “But aren’t beavers just lumpy rodents with buck teeth and funny flat tails?”
Yes, they are! And believe it or not, those buck teeth and funny flat tails are just a few of the things that make beavers extraordinary. Humorous and engaging, Beavers is the first book in the new highly illustrated nonfiction Superpower Field Guide series, inspiring readers to laugh, think, and view the world around them with new eyes.
Focusing on some of the most mysterious and misunderstood animals in the world, this series sheds light on the “superpowers” of animals that may seem ordinary or annoying. Each book covers information about how they were discovered, where they live, basic anatomy, various species, and (most importantly) their superpower. Each animal has at least one main “superpower,” or special ability that no other animal shares. The hope of this series is for the reader to appreciate these unique animals, and others, that often go unnoticed and unwanted. Each book includes many pictures and illustrations throughout and are information-filled. The back of each book includes a glossary of terms used throughout the book, as well as additional ways to learn about the featured animal. A 9” ruler is printed on the inside of the front cover for a size reference when measurements are mentioned throughout the book. 96 pgs, pb. ~ Brianna
