Rain Forest Animals recently received a "highly recommended" rating in a review by the National Science Teachers Association, based in Arlington, Virginia. The NSTA is the largest organization in the world committed to promoting excellence and innovation in science teaching and learning.

Globe and Mail Review

Wetland Animals and Desert Animals were recently reviewed by Susan Perren, editor of the Children's Book section in the Globe and Mail. She says, "Habits as well as habitats, prey as well as predators, of hippopotamus and anaconda, mallard duck and moose, are presented in word and picture in an engaging and appropriate way for the books' intended audience."
