    About this ebook

    In an act known as “pronking,” gazelles leap straight into the air with their backs arched before landing on all four feet. Their motive is a mystery, but it may just be their way of telling predators “Can’t touch this!” See what else gazelles can do in this fact-filled title.

      This comes from a solid series called Animal Safari that's designed for the earliest emerging readers. Quite frankly, a series on wild animals for emerging readers is just about the best thing that I could add to my shelves. This, books about pets, and books about characters from their favorite TV shows and movies are the only requests I get. I have to introduce every other part of the library to them. So when I can add more than a dozen different titles that are age-appropriate and text-apporpriate, I jump at it.

      This book about gazelles was among my favorites. The poor gazelle seemed to be every predatory animal's favorite menu item in this series, but they're such amazing animals. Sure, being forever on the run from everything with sharp teeth is probably responsible for that, but they also have a quirky side. For instance, I'd never heard of pronking, but this book brought it up, and it made me wonder about gazelles in a way I never had before. If it does that for me, it's sure to do the same for my students.
