Each book in the SO COOL, SO CUTE series from National Geographic kids features a fascinating animal such as pandas, koalas, sharks, and leopards. The latest books in the series include frogs and penguins. Designed for ages 3 through 7, these short information books include photographs along with quirky fonts, child-like graphics, and humorous, informative text designed for their young audience. Although filled with useful content, their informal style will attract children seeking a little fun with their facts.

The SAN DIEGO ZOO KIDS website is geared specifically for the needs and interests of children. Users can explore by animal (amphibians, arthropods, bird, fish, mammals, reptiles), stories, fun facts, wildlife conservation, videos, activities, games, and zoo life. Each entry includes limited text, photographs or video, and engaging content. For more in-depth information, students are directed to the San Diego Zoo’s Animals & Plants website.
