      Grades 3-5 Ready to lay your eyes on a penguin wearing a wetsuit, a microchip-activated pet door, garbage-gobbling robots, and drones that keep tabs on endangered species? These wondrous inventions and many others are contained in the Saving Animals with Science series (6 titles), which takes an irresistible approach to STEM topics. Each themed volume provides a light survey of products and technologies created to solve specific problems facing wild animals and pets, often touching upon environmental issues in the process. The books' contents are divided into four easy-to-read chapters that liberally use captioned photos of animals interacting with the devices described by the text. "Spotlight On" pages profile an individual or specific topic related to the subject at hand. Prosthetic limbs and beaks give creatures of the air, land, and sea better lives in Bionic Animals, which also looks at 3-D printing's role in bionics. A critical-thinking scenario closes each engaging volume.
