Critical Reviews

Amazon Best Children's Books of the Year: NonFiction Book Links' Lasting Connections 2016 Bulletin Blue Ribbon 2016 Raleigh News & Observer * "...An eminently browsable overview with all the clickbait appeal of websites and paperbacks with redeployed content but with some thoughtful implications about animals... Animal-loving kids, sensationalism-loving kids, and facts-loving kids will be surprised to find common ground here." --Bulletin * "Compelling visual presentation makes the information accessible and exciting. Highly recommended for all science collections." --School Library Journal, STARRED review * "The intriguing and engaging format of this title is stimulating on a variety of levels, and the approach should appeal to a wide range of students, especially visual learners, something for which educators will be grateful. A brilliantly executed take on a perennially high-interest topic." --Booklist, STARRED review * "A special treat for all who love animal statistics." --Kirkus, STARRED review "Steve Jenkins's work... is characterized by exquisite cut- and torn-paper collages, a particular affinity for zoology, a plethora of pithy facts and trivia, and an elegant design aesthetic that allows readers to navigate information-heavy pages without becoming confused or disoriented." --Horn Book --
