Review Quotes

"Fun and intriguing illustrations show what it would look like if ants fought fires, vultures collected garbage, and fish farmed ... A very cute read for littles to show them that many wild animals have jobs similar to the jobs people do."

"Serves as a mentor text for young researchers wanting to share what they have learned in an impressive format. It delivers some surprising explanations, accompanied by cartoony artwork that enhances the facts and charms its readers."

"The mix of carefully distinguished fact and fancy makes the informational load easy to digest."
