Even as babies, we humans pay close attention to faces. Observing another person's features and expressions tells us whether they are happy, angry, excited, or sad. And when we look at an animal, it's hard not to imagine that its face is communicating human feelings. This isn't true, of course. Squinty eyes, an upturned mouth, or another odd expression is probably there because, in some way, it helps that animal survive. Packed with many cool facts and visuals on where certain animals live and what they eat, this book captures twenty-five humorous--and very true--explanations of why animals look the way they do in order to exist in this world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Houghton Mifflin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780544233515\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 9.30w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Keystone to Reading Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Kentucky Bluegrass Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Washington Children's Choice Picture Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2014 pg. 138\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2014 pg. 70\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/06\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePW Children's Starred Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2014 pg. 51\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2015 - Recommended, Satisfactory\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e170652 \/ Creature Features: 25 Animals Explain Why They Look the Way They Do\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.6 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Steve Jenkins, Robin Page","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36638456971420,"sku":"9780544233515","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_b0d7a0b5-2e57-4d5e-86ac-6eb113bd1a65.jpg?v=1603847332","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/creature-features-twenty-five-animals-explain-why-they-look-the-way-they-do-9780544233515","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
