Face to Face with Wild Horses (Face to Face with Animals)

Gr 4-6 Two handsome series entries by two husband-and-wife teams of researchers/photographers. Both books are lavishly illustrated with outstanding color photos. "Orangutans" pulls readers headlong into the disappearing jungles of Borneo as the authors track these large but elusive primates, offering excellent data along the way. "Wild Horses" enters the world of the mustang of the American West and engages readers not only in the story of a young foal, but also in equine global distribution and the role of the Bureau of Land Management in mustang survival. Each book offers sections on "How You Can Help," "It's Your Turn," "Facts at a Glance," and a fascinating column of "Research and Photographic Notes." Intensely personal and informative, with eye-arresting covers, these attractive titles invite readers to walk companionably with specialists hard at work in the wild."Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY" Copyright 2009 School Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
