Publisher's Note
A simple text and color photographs explore the various kinds of fur that have helped make mammals so successful, from sparse and light-colored fur to thick and shaggy fur. By the author of Feathers.

Industry Reviews
Gr 3-6 An intimate look at the functions, peculiarities, and beauty of mammals' coats. Through many outstanding full-color photos and a lively text, readers learn about the kinds of hair that make up most mammals' fur, how sea mammals keep warm even in cold water, and why animals' skins come in different colors and patterns. As she did in Feathers (Cobblehill, 1992), Patent has answered most of the questions children ask. Kathleen McCabe, East Meadow Public Library, NY
