This is a good book. Badgers have long claws they use to dig burrows where they live and to defend themselves. They have few predators but wolves, coyotes and eagles will eat a badger cub. Badgers live in family groups but not all species do they live alone.

This is an interesting book. This book explains how Puffins are able to fly and how their body structure helps them do this and swim. The Puffin has spines on it's tongue that helps hold the fish it's catches in it's mouth. Their appearance changes in the winter and back to being colorful in summer. The biggest threat to Puffins are humans!

I enjoyed the way the author thought up all of Squirrel's homes and the life she had. She grew up having a hard life, and because of that, it was hard trusting people and other dogs. A Dog's Life is about a dog named Squirrel who lives in a wheelbarrow with her brother, Bone, and her Mother. Then one day, her life goes crooked. She and Bone go on many adventures trying to find food. They become strays, and Squirrel gets left all alone with no Bone. However, one day, she finds a partner on her hunt for food. That is, until they get separated...

I liked this book. Jackals don't live in big packs like wolves they live alone or with a mate. They share a territory and live in a den. Baby pups drink milk after two weeks they can try solid food and at tweleve weeks they can go out hunting with their parents.

This is an awesome book. This book tells you about the largest lizard and the smallest. What they live what they eat and what eats them. The coolest fact was learning how to escape an enemy by losing it's tail!

It was a good book! It was funny. I liked it. I liked the part when Snake and Lizard were trying to help the rat. Snake and Lizard were good friends but they fought a lot. Snake and Lizard had to learn to be good friends.
