As people grow up, they become more active and often get involved in physical activities. This can make us sweat, and sweating can make us stink! In this book, readers will discover how exactly sweat can make us stinky. Straightforward images of age-appropriate kids, as well as a helpful graphic organizer, helps make a potentially difficult science topic accessible and fun.

A polar bear must be patient to get its favorite meal: the ringed seal. It often lays besides a seal's breathing hole waiting for it to pop up for a breath. The tricky seal makes many breathing holes in the ice, though. Readers learn other ways that these big lumbering bears, the largest land predators, hunt for food in their frozen homes. A map, graphic organizer, and fact boxes make this book a valuable guide for future Arctic explorers.

A mountain lion's ability to pounce 40 feet (12.2 m) makes it a fearsome predator. But this big cat has more adaptations to keep it well fed, including sharp claws, a flexible spine, and large, padded paws. It also has interesting habits, such as hiding its prey from other animals so it can come back again and again for a bite to eat. Readers will learn much more about these fierce animals of North America, including the endangered Florida panther, in this book's fact-filled pages and colorful photographs.
