      Gr 4 Up-A breeze through the fascinating animals, fish, and insects that bully, steal, and are otherwise mischievous or "crooked." Readers can expect to encounter the likes of the green-banded broodsac, a species of flatworm that infects snails, causing them to enlarge their tentacles and make them more susceptible to predators. Budding zoologists, entomologists, and veterinarians will learn about predatory characteristics, defense mechanisms, and eating habits. The main text is supplemented by inserts that elaborate on the topic. Despite the pocket-size format, the photographs are clear, eye-catching, and helpful in complementing the information they accompany. A thorough bibliography, divided by chapter, concludes this work. VERDICT A browsable addition to collections with animal lovers.-Amy Caldera, Dripping Springs Middle School, TX
