Back matter includes more information about each animal."A fine synthesis of poetry and science" — Kirkus Reviews"An inviting introduction to a dozen industrious creatures" — Publishers Weekly "A natural for classroom use, with eye-catching art that will lure little ones in" — Booklist ILA Teachers' Choices
