Take an animal-filled adventure across a wide range of U.S. habitats. From cliff-diving puffins to desert-dwelling snakes, kids will discover that the United States has LOTS of weird, wild, and rare animals.

Kids will love discovering surprising animals that live in the United States in this fully illustrated book featuring tons of animals, from the strangest to the scariest, from the oddest to the strongest.

Divided into quirky categories like "Let's look at legs," "Concealed by camouflage," "Creepy creatures," and "Brilliant builders," the book also highlights animals that are vulnerable or endangered, such as the tiny Devil's Hole pupfish, the Carolina northern flying squirrel, and the manatee.

With tons of information and facts, Weird, Wild, and Rare will inspire a new generation of readers, teaching them the importance of conservation and protecting all of the amazing and weird animals that make the United States their habitat.
