Did you know a rhino's horn is made of the same stuff as your fingernails? Or that they can run 30 miles per hour and weigh more than a small truck?
Rhinos look like they belong in prehistoric times, and they almost do! Your young reader is about to meet one of Earth's biggest, toughest, and most amazing animals.
"The Nature Kid's Guide to Rhinos" takes children ages 6-10 on a journey to the grasslands of Africa and the jungles of Asia. Why do rhinos love rolling in mud all day? How can they smell a human from almost half a mile away? And why do those little birds (called oxpeckers) love to sit on their backs?
Written for Level 2 readers in short, easy-to-read sentences, this book brings these armored giants to life. Your child will learn that a group of rhinos is called a "crash," that baby rhinos can stand and walk within one hour of being born, and that mother rhinos will charge at anything-even elephants-to protect their calves.
Perfect for kids who love animals, and reluctant readers who you can't seem to convince to read anything.
Rhinos are living tanks with terrible eyesight but incredible noses. Gentle giants who charge at elephants to protect their babies.
Sometimes all it takes is the right subject. Once your child discovers rhinos, they won't want to stop turning pages, and that's when reading clicks.
