<p>What's the difference between a butterfly and a moth? A frog and a toad? An alligator and a crocodile? Curious kids will enjoy discovering the differences between animals that frequently confuse us.</p><p><b>What's the Difference?</b> compares ten animal pairs, from insects to mammals. While both tortoises and turtles are shelled reptiles, a tortoise has sturdy, elephant-like feet for walking on land, while a turtle swims using flippers. Cheetahs and leopards are both large, spotted cats; one difference is that cheetahs have long legs and run very fast, while leopards count on their stealth to sneak up behind their prey.</p><p>Compare:<ul><li />Bees and Wasps<li />Butterflies and Moths<li />Crows and Ravens<li />Alligators and Crocodiles<li />Frogs and Toads<li />Tortoises and Turtles<li />Cheetahs and Leopards<li />Donkeys and Mules<li />Dolphins and Porpoises<li />Rabbits and Hares</ul></p><p>Colorful, clear illustrations place the animals vividly in their natural environments, and the layout of the book places them side by side for easy comparison. <b>What's the Difference?</b> was developed in conjunction with the Canadian Museum of Nature. At the end of the book, a key to the animal pairs and an index for quick reference is provided.</p>
