Editorial Reviews

Culminates with an illustrated six-foot-long timeline that readers can unfold and trace the history of mammals through time. The illustrated timeline showcases some 100 different species of mammals. Besides the stunning timeline, there are other fun mammal puzzlers to both test and help the reader make sure that the author’s facts are straight, a glossary to define specific terminology such as ‘Monotreme’, and a well-organized index.” —Youth Services Book Review

“The information-packed text is illustrated with digital art created using a restrained palette. After the main text, readers will find a brief visual-verbal matching game, and a six-foot foldout timeline featuring about 100 pictures of mammals or plants, each identified and captioned with a few factoids … many kids will find this feature and its small-print information particularly absorbing. An attractive series.” —Booklist

"Cute, cartoonish illustrations partner with accessible scientific descriptions of many mammals. The most exciting feature of the books is a 6-foot long foldout timeline jammed full of illustrations of mammals throughout history. Backmatter includes a puzzle, quiz, glossary, and index." —BayViews Journal, Association of Children's Librarians, California
