The sharp eyes of Chy Ross and the staff at the Lake Stevens library caught a children’s nonfiction book with a completely incorrect statement. The book is Mammals: What is an Animal?by Ted O’Hare. On page four they found this: “Mammals are one of the vertebrate groups of animals. This means they have backbones. Amphibians, reptiles, and birds are also mammals. So are human beings.” Since amphibians, reptiles and birds are definitely NOT mammals, we will be withdrawing this title from our collection. The Collection Development department will take care of the withdrawal.
Thanks staff at Lake Stevens!
