Paired with Susan Batori's cheeky illustrations, this is a laugh-out-loud read that explores fascinating animal science. Each animal "criminal" gets a spread that's filled with facts about the animal's characteristics, including distinguishing features, diet, life span, habitat and more, as well as a description of the animal's "bad" behavior and the reason behind it. This book offers direct STEAM links to life science curriculum, particularly lessons on the characteristics of living things. The underlying premise of the book also offers the opportunity for discussions on what it means to play fair in the world.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A pleaser for younger naturalists.--<i><b>Kirkus Reviews</b></i><br><br>In addition to their previous felonies, the animal criminals may end up stealing readers' hearts!--<i><b>Booklist Online</b></i><br><br>The book is definitely a fun read, one that is filled with engaging information.--<i><b>CM Magazine</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Heather Tekavec discovered while working as a preschool teacher that children's books were a lot more fun than adult books.
