Reviews

"The text is informative and on topic, logically providing an understanding of the animal’s evolution, life cycle and how they use their ‘armor’ for survival and as protection against predators . . . Animal lovers will learn something new."

TriState Young Adult Book Review Committee, November 2008

"Fascinating facts abound in these colorful books . . . a good choice for reluctant readers . . . The clever chapter titles are attention getting and will interest children who think science holds no appeal, researchers, and browsers alike."

Library Media Connection, March/April 2009

"The close-up photos are frequent and well chosen, and accompanied by clear, simply phrased texts, which are more detailed than average . . . An unusual feature is each volume's closing discussion of human equivalent . . ."
