I received this ARC from Netgalley for an honest review.
This book is about how animals use their natural defenses that keep them safe. From rolling to a ball to spraying a nasty smell, animals are depicted with nice pictures and an illustration of their defense.

Animal Defenses, by Mary Lindeen is an informative book that provides a fun way for children to learn about animals and their natural manner of defenses against danger.
As a part of the Read and Discover Science series, this book encourages children to learn about scientific subjects while working on their reading skills. According to a note from the publisher: "The series can be used with beginning readers to practice high-frequency words, academic language, and to expand comprehension of life, earth, and physical science."
Within thirty-two pages, there are interesting science facts and Did You Know sidebars intermixed with full-color photographs. Also, there are sections titled as Connecting Concepts and Word List in the back of the book.
Animal Defenses is a children's non-fiction picture book that's geared toward kindergartners to third graders.
Note: I received this book from NetGalley, which is a program designed for bloggers to write book reviews in exchange for books, yet the opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Where do they find these amazing pictures of various animals in their natural habitat. They are so much fun, your child will readily enjoy the book for these pictures. Put together by experts in their field, this book facilitates your child in reading and thinking about what they are seeing at the same time.

Animal Defences is part of the Life Sciences series for young readers by Mary Lindeen. From stings, to horns, teeth, and claws, to camouflage, children will learn about the many different types of defenses that animals have. Like the others in the series, this one has simple, easy to read sentences, and provides grounding in basic scientific concepts in ways young readers can grasp. The end of the book features a Connecting Concepts section with questions to ask about the reading, and practise with vocabulary and reading fluency. My cubs and I enjoyed reading this book.
***Many thanks to Netgalley and Norwood House for providing an egalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.
