      Grades 2-4 The eye-catching Science behind the Colors series (6 new titles) uses pigment and patterns as an inroad into studying some of the animal kingdom's most curiously colorful creatures. Each title is broken into short chapters, with only a few sentences per page, that explain how each creature's colors aid in its survival and biological processes. Rainbow Boas shows how beautiful snakes can be with their prismatic scales. The text is simple but effective, respecting readers enough to introduce terms like pigment, testosterone, and epidermis. Clean, accommodating layouts and an appropriately colorful design make this series quite reader friendly, but the headlining event is unquestionably the engaging, attractive animal photography that fills each book's pages. The main text is supported by fact boxes and back matter including a glossary, index, further resources, and illustrative activities that can be done with mostly household items. A solid choice for all collections, sure to please animal lovers while also providing enough specificity to serve as a resource for young researchers.
