Pumas

Young readers in the primary grades will enjoy seeing 12″ X 9″ color photos of  pumas ( mountain lions or cougars) in the wild. Two or three sentences of  large font text on the left are opposite the action photos on the right side of each page spread. The book is divided into four sections: Pumas, Big Cats, Hunting, and Baby Pumas. This is followed by More Facts, Glossary, Index, and Abdo Kids Code. It is interesting to find that the on-line Abdo Kids Code portion contains 5 of the 9 photos from the book, and the text condensed down from 20 sentences to 6. There are, also, 3 printable activities, a 2.5 minute video by National Geographic, and 3 “Learn More” one of which is by the San Diego Zoo.
