This series begins with six volumes about animals popular with pre-teen readers -- wolves, elephants, gorillas, grizzly bears, giant pandas, and whooping cranes. Each book will combine science elements such as biology and environment as well as literature and folklore. Not only will the reader learn about such scientific topics as life span, classification, development, range, camouflage, competition, prey and the food chain, but they will also discover the animal's social organization, seasonal activities, and means of communication. In addition each book will explore myths and facts about the animal, and how it has appeared in folktales and other types of literature.
