"The Animals around the World: Asia series (6 new titles) introduces beginning readers to some of the continent’s lesser-known and more unusual animals. Double-page spreads with largescale, color photos depicting the animals up close and in action form the core of this visually appealing series. A few simple sentences on each spread relate key information about the animal, including its physical characteristics, habitat, diet, life span, and special features. All about Asian Slow Lorises highlights how this small animal is the only primate with a poisonous bite, which can even kill people. Each book ends with its animal’s range map, but some volumes depict this more clearly than others. All of the titles in this interesting series, however, helpfully conclude with animal fun-facts and more detailed descriptions of the animal’s body parts and their uses."--Angela Leeper, Booklist, October 15, 2024
