“The books in the ‘Amazing Animals’
series … dazzle when it comes to the
full-page (and large pages at that),
dynamically colored photographs of
animals in their native habitats.”
BooklistReview of Amazing Animals
“Riveting, close-up photos …
will draw young audiences to
these introductions.”
School Library JournalReview of Creepy Creatures
“The layout is uniformly simple
but effective, constructed with a nice
balance of main text for the report
writers, smaller chunks of esoterica for
browsers, and … killer photos. All in
all, upper-echelon animal books for
middle-grade researchers.”
BooklistReview of Living Wild
“‘The NBA: A History of Hoops’
series uses a format similar to the
publisher’s excellent ‘NFL Today’
series, which means plenty of
technical, hard-driving game recaps
paired with giant-size photos that
freeze-frame the sweat and glory
of pro basketball.”
