Animals of Australia

Kathryn Knight

Publié en 2012 Dalmtian Press

Livre
Documentaire

This book starts out, "Australia is filed with animals that are very, very different from animals in other lands. There are many birds, mammals, reptiles and marsupials (mar-soo-pee-uhls)." The problem is, marsupials ARE mammals. They are just not PLACENTAL mammals. Their babies drink mom's milk and they have hair = mammal. I hate when books purport to be educational but contain misleading or false information. This sentence misleads the reader into thinking that marsupials are not mammals. I read the rest of the book quickly to see if this was corrected somewhere and I didn't see it. I wonder whether there was other false or misleading info in this book that I didn't catch. I purchased this in a pack of used books for "early reading." However, it will be heading to the trash.
