Like No Other by Sneed B Collard Iii
This fascinating look at thirteen unusual animals, many of them rare or endangered, introduces the remarkable world of monotypic animals--those without any close relatives. One-of-a-kind animals can be as familiar as the platypus or as unfamiliar as the purple frog. These fascinating and mysterious species belong to an exclusive club of living things: those with no close living relatives, making them monotypic species. Meet more than a dozen of these creatures (including humans ), learn what makes them unique, and explore the relationships among species on the evolutionary tree. Written by award-winning author Sneed B. Collard I, this fascinating nonfiction picture book is ideal for kids, teachers, and librarians and includes extensive back matter and activities.
"Every animal may be unique, but some species are truly one-of-a-kindA baker’s dozen of very different creatures star in this visually impressive and informative book... (with) large, stunningly detailed, close-up color illustration(s)... (and) excellent backmatter. A striking book that celebrates the astonishing diversity of the animal world."—Kirkus Reviews
