“High interest topics, “superhero” culture, and unusual facts about plants and animals tie together to form the backbone of this series about mutations and adaptations found
in nature. Each two-page spread has one full-page color photograph representing the subject on the opposite page. Readers will pore over the quirky and unusual animal photographs. In Super Powers, super senses, abilities, and tools are emphasized. In Mutants, the emphasis is on mixed-up parts, color changes, and microscopic mutations. Photo captions and trivia questions emphasize the content and make reading fun. Bibliography. Glossary.
