Gail Gibbons has a variety of titles. If you have money.... Rigby has a series of books called Sails that have nice leveled non-fiction. There is also a series I like called The Kids Can Press Wildlife Series. They have: Bears, Wild Cats, Wild Dogs, Whales, Beavers, Salmon, Eagles, and Deer, Moose, Elk and Caribou. Jim Arnosky has some good ones -All About Rattlesnakes, All About Turkeys. There are also the Backyard Books: Are You a Lady Bug?, Are You An Ant?, Are You a Bee?, Are You a Butterfly?, Are You a Dragonfly?, Are You a grasshopper?, Are You a Snail?, Are You a Spider? And... The Nature Upclose Series: A Ladybug's Life, A Monarch Butterfly's Life, A Luna Moth's Life, A Salamander's Life, A Slug's Life
I hope this is helpful. Debbie Miller also lists books at the end of each strategy. Did you see that list?
