Reviews

"Kylie goes beyond listing facts. You get to explore the wild ways these animals survive, why they're important in their ecosystems, and learn about the ways humans hurt or help them. They may be lesser-known or misunderstood animals, but Kylie's enthusiasm for a weird critter shines bright in this book!"
-- Christopher Smith, science educator at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences
