Publisher's Synopsis
At first glance, scavengers seem disgusting. When you get right down to it, though, these animals and their gross eating habits are helping our planet. Scavengers that eat other animals' leftovers, dead animals, and human garbage are nature's own "green team," recycling and removing waste that would otherwise pile up and cause illness in people and animals. That is not to say that these animals, and their food choices, are not nauseating. But that is exactly why young people will be drawn to each fascinating, stomach-turning title. Each volume features sidebars to highlight interesting facts. This set features: -Sidebars with added-value facts about each animal -Set can be used to meet Common Core ELA Power Standards in reading and writing
