Reviews

""The book reads well once the reader has figured out that reading the non-fiction portion first (at the bottom of the page) will give the context for the cartoon drawings and speech at the top of the page. . . The ""Do You Know?"" series would appeal to fact-seeking readers, especially those with a penchant for insects and amphibians. Reluctant readers will also embrace these books because of the simple language and comical illustrations."" Recommended. -- CM Magazine
