  | Full Text Reviews: Booklist - 10/15/2018 Curious animal lovers will likely answer with a resounding yes when they see the creatures profiled in the Do You Really Want to Meet . . .? series. Using a picture-book format, each volume follows a fictional child on a journey to visit an interesting animal in the wild. The world’s smallest meat-eating mammal stars in Weasel, which imparts such interesting tidbits as how a weasel’s “war dance” is used to distract prey before attacking it. Friendly paintings illustrate the text, incorporating scientifically accurate depictions of the animals, especially when it comes to showing their size; the text directly poses questions to readers as it describes the featured animal. Each closing spread in these approachable animal introductions consists of a range map and brief glossary of terms. - Copyright 2018 Booklist. Loading...
