What kind of living thing is it? will turn young readers into nature detectives. This fascinating book explores what makes a living thing and how living things are grouped. This intriguing book asks children to look at particular characteristics and decide if certain living things are what they seem to be.

All living things need food to survive, but not all living things eat the same kinds of food. From plants to herbivores to carnivores, the bodies of living things are specially designed to find the types of food they need. Children will be amazed by such food-gathering techniques as camouflage, echolocation, pouncing, trapping, poisoning, and using tools.
