Reviews
"Jenkins, this time in collaboration with his wife, has created yet another eye-opening book." School Library Journal, Starred "...this array of wide eyes and open mouths will definitely have viewers responding with wide eyes and open mouths of their own." Kirkus Reviews, Starred "This is a striking, thoughtfully created book with intriguing facts made more memorable through dynamic art." Booklist, ALA, Starred Review "Jenkin's cut-paper collage illustrations are, as usual, ingenious and remarkable in their clarity, their several components neatly articulating the anatomy of their subjects."
