Recenzijas

Jenn Dlugos & Charlie Hatton present real science in a way that will intrigue a kid. The information is given in a way children can understand and scientific names of the creatures are phonetically spelled out, but the material is still challenging. Dlugos and Hatton write with the kind of enthusiasm for their subjects that will easily get kids excited, too, and there are lots of full-color pictures to get the ball rolling.

This book is one of four in a series, each perfect for 9-to-13-year-olds who love science. Or, if you've got a middle-schooler who needs a nudge toward the laboratory, Things That Make You Go Yuck! Crooked Critters is a nice start.,Terri Schlichenmeyer,The Bookworm Sez, 1/8/17 This educational series combines two tween favorites: humor and the gross-out factor. These books are all about animal (and a few plant and microorganism) adaptations and survival, particularly the planet's more unusual creatures. Readers will enjoy devouring one quick entry after another.,Julia Smith,Booklist, 4/1/17 Eye-catching pictures will grab the attention of anyone just flipping through the books, and the quirky humor will engage readers as they enjoy learning fun facts as they explore the text from cover to cover!,Gifted Child Today, 7/1/17
