Editorial Reviews

"The books feature several engaging visual elements: sidebars that resemble comic strips, fact boxes, and large photographs....The comprehensive back matter is well organized and great for reports. There are student-friendly print and online resources, as well as lists of conservation organizations and international zoos and research centers where sharks and pandas can be seen.... for collections where HMH’s “Scientists in the Field” is popular or for schools with active conservation clubs." — School Library Journal
