Reviews

“The six books in this tru­ly out­stand­ing series of nature books for begin­ning read­ers are extreme­ly well writ­ten and superbly illus­trat­ed. Each book gives a good descrip­tion of the unique fea­tures of the anato­my, life his­to­ry and devel­op­ment of the ani­mal men­tioned in the title, as well as of its eco­nom­ic impor­tance.” (Sci­ence Books & Films)

Behind the Book

“I had a lot of fun research­ing this book, but whit­tling all the infor­ma­tion down to 1,500 words was a real chal­lenge. I had to real­ly under­stand what makes rep­tiles unique, though the book also describes some of the most inter­est­ing extremes.”
