"With a plethora of beautiful informational books in this series about little-known animals, it was difficult to choose one to review. Any of the six will uncover animal secrets for elementary age children. Although the reading level is recommended in grade 4, older children will find the information fascinating." —The Baytown Sun
"The next best thing to taking a field trip with a biologist." —Growing with Science and STEM Friday blogs
