Perfectly pale: Animals come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Some even come with no color at all. Researchers estimate that one in ten thousand mammals is born without any color. Discover some of these extraordinary albino animals inside this book.

Illustrated with spectacular color photographs, this 24 page book is written for fourth grade readers.  It is part of the Fountas Pinnell Leveled Literacy Intervention program. Like my books Octopus, Escape Artist of the Sea and How Smart is a Lemur?, Albino Animals is in the Intriguing Animals series.

NEW BOOK! How Smart is a Lemur?

Brain power: Lemurs are amazing animals. These small creatures look like a cross between a cat and a squirrel. Scientists at Duke University are testing them to find out how smart they really are. Find out what they are discovering in this book.

I visited the Duke Lemur Center in Durham, North Carolina to learn about lemurs and meet with some of the people who work with them.  You can read about my visit at my travel blog, The Intrepid Tourist.
