Animals Growing Up

Pandas are perhaps the most recognizable and most beloved of all the bears. Young readers will journey to the misty mountain forests of China and witness the birth, growth, and lives of wild panda cubs. Simple yet informative text, fast facts, and eye-catching photographs show readers where giant pandas live, what they eat, how they communicate, and how they survive in their habitat, supporting the Next Generation Science Standards on growth and development of organisms, biodiversity, and social interactions in animal groups. The Words to Know section in the beginning of the book helps students learn new vocabulary before encountering the terms in the text.
