"Which Animal Is Which?" Series Helps Children Explore Summer Animals

With school summer breaks either underway or about to begin, the chances are strong that children will be exploring and playing in the outdoors. They are also likely to see insects, spiders, and other creatures that emerge in warm weather. These encounters are opportunities to answer their questions and stimulate their curiosity about the natural world, or at least that portion with many legs.

A wonderful way to understand the world of insects and spiders is with Enslow Publishers' new book Insect or Spider: How Do You Know? Author Melissa Stewart's 24-page work offers full-page color, side-by-side photos on every spread, so that young readers can visually compare the animals' distinctions. The easily read titles and large type size makes the book an easy "way in" for new readers. It also encourages read-aloud sessions useful for parent-child readings and for small group readings in schools and public libraries.

This new Enlsow Publishers book, part of the six-title "Which Animal Is Which?" series, is available in paperback for $6.95. A library-bound edition is also available.

Some animals are easily confused. In our new series Which Animal is Which? students can join in solving the guessing game of which animal is which. These titles support the K–4 National Science Education Standards Science for Science as Inquiry. Titles in the series include:

Is it an Alligator or Crocodile? Readers may be surprised to learn just how different these two animals are.


 Is it a Butterfly or Moth? What's the difference? Students will learn to indentify these animals using critical thinking skills.


Is it a Frog or Toad? One is thin and the other is fat. Readers will learn which is which.



Is it an Insect or Spider? scurrying across the floor? By taking a closer look at bugs, readers will be able to tell the difference.



One has wet skin and the other has dry skin. So is it a Salamander or Lizard? Readers will find plenty of tips for telling a salamander from lizard.


They both live in the ocean. They are both large, gray, and eat fish. Is it a Shark or Dolphin? Author Melissa Stewart's text paired with stunning underwater photography shows readers just how different these two animals really are.

Young readers love books about animals and we guarantee these will fly off the library shelf. These easy-to-read titles are great for improving critical thinking skills through comparing, contrasting, indentifying, and observing. Superb full-page color, side-by-side photos appear on every spread so that readers can visually compare the animals' differences.
