Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
How Would You Survive As A...? is a brand new nature strand in the globally bestselling You Wouldn't Want To... brand, looking at the struggles for survival of different animal species. Each volume follows a first-person narrative approach, telling the story of an example of the species as they deal with finding food, reproducing, raising their young, exploring their territory and fighting for dominance. The mix of humorous illustrations, bite-sized text, fact panels and diagrams provides multiple entry points for reluctant readers, presenting the information in a fun and accessible manner.How Would You Survive As A Killer Whale? explores the challenges faced by an orca as it hunts for food, socialises with its pod and raises its child. The endmatter contains real life stories of killer whales in captivity, highlighting conservation issues surrounding the species, illustrated with photographs to underscore that they're non-fiction and drawn from the real world, plus family trees of related species, a quiz and statistics.
Includes index.
"As a killer whale, also known as an orca, you are a very social animal, living together with other killer whales in family groups that exhibit complex behaviors. Being a killer whale can be difficult and challenging: You have to hunt for food, raise your young, and keep track of your family"--back cover.
Through the quirky, humorous, and irreverent approach of this book, kids will enjoy learning about the life of these giants of the sea. With the same engaging approach to nonfiction from You Wouldn't Want to Be/You Wouldn't Want to Live Without, each book in this new series features an animal species picked either for its ubiquitous nature or for its level of endangerment. The books describe key aspects of the life cycle of each animal, such as diet, reproduction and habitat. Illustrated with original art that will feature anthropomorphized animals to add character and expression, this series will provide really engaging content to young readers!
