Reviews
Series review: With photos on nearly every page and new vocabulary in bold, this series will appeal to ESL high schoolers as well as middle school students. The extensive glossary, timeline and sidebars will also help get the concepts across. The books about Steve Irwin and Dian Fossey highlight the passion of these animal lovers and the legacy they have left for future generations. They also refer to the popular movies "Gorillas in the Mist" and "Crocodile Hunter" which will add to the celebrity on the theory of evolution and how Darwin developed it.
