Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 1-3- Concise descriptions of similarities and differences among six pairs of look-alikes. Readers learn that both frogs and toads have bulging eyes, but a toad's skin is rougher and drier than a frog's; dolphins have pointed beaks while porpoises' are smaller and curved; cheetahs and leopards can look identical at first glance; and butterflies are generally more colorful than moths. Differences in food gathering, physique, habitats, etc., are made clear. Colorful photographs abound. A "Who Am I?" quiz and "Fun Facts" page are included in each volume. Audiences will come away with the ability to distinguish these seemingly twinlike twosomes. Fun, eye-opening titles for browsing and classroom research. (c) Copyright 2011.
