Packs: Strength in Numbers written by Hannah Salyer and reviewed by Debra Gantz

Summary: This beautifully illustrated picture book has full double page spreads that are eye popping and so very appealing. The text explains how some animals are better together as packs provide strength and security for them. The pack names are specific to the animal group, as well. (My students love those kind of facts!) It also touches on how humans are better together, as well. Learning from these animals while delving into these magical illustrations I hope my students will get the strength in numbers message, especially now. 

Straight Talk for Librarians: I love that Hannah Salyer added information about the dangers of losing animals in our world do to human choices of land, water, and lack of pollution management. Great back matter in this one. Always makes me happy to see that back matter! We have many teachers that do animal reports from K-5th grade and this one has lots of good information. Mostly it is about the language of pack by animal and their support of one another. Gorgeous illustrations allow my art teacher to join in the educational fun, too!
