Nifty Noses

Small children enjoy puzzling things out, and few subjects hold their attention like animals. In this book, the animal is a mystery to be solved. Striking photographs and short, plain clues invite young readers to study the pictures, read the hints, and reason their way to the answer. Along the way they practice looking closely at images, reading, and thinking things through.

The text also teaches readers about the elephant itself, explaining how it lives and why it is endangered. The facts are presented simply, so the information stays easy to follow for beginning readers.

A glossary and an index are included to help young students find details quickly and pick up new vocabulary. The book is part of the Guess What series.
