Praise for the Science Comics series:
This series--written by a handful of authors--seems determined to offer a useful introduction to anything a curious grade-school student might wonder about. The insight behind these books is a powerful one. So much information about the world around us is actually better conveyed visually, through charts, illustrations, and sequential panels, than purely using words. --New York Times Like having a Time Life Science Library in comic books. Which is awesome! --Popular SciencePraise for Science Comics: Coral Reefs: Author and illustrator Wicks's experience shines through with accurate facts and appealing, colorful drawings.
--School Library Journal
