Reviews
Praise for the Science Comics series:
"This series--written by a handful of authors--seems determined to offer a useful introduction to anything a curious grade-school student might wonder about. The insight behind these books is a powerful one. So much information about the world around us is actually better conveyed visually, through charts, illustrations, and sequential panels, than purely using words." --New York Times"Like having a Time Life Science Library in comic books. Which is awesome!" --Popular Science
Praise for Science Comics: Bats: "The writing is accessible and engaging, and the level of content is detailed enough for young researchers, but casual browsers and graphic novel enthusiasts will find this an attractive choice, too." --School Library Journal, starred review "With plenty of informative back matter, this inviting, engaging nonfiction comic is perfect for kids hungry for science." --Booklist
"Neatly drawn illustrations." --Kirkus
