Review quotes

"In her fifth "Anatomy Series" title (after Ocean Anatomy), popular illustrator, author and columnist Rothman provides attractive, interest-pulling samples of information on many living things and aspects of their anatomy...Readers of all ages and all levels of education will be drawn to the author's simple yet charming illustrations and to the book's snippets of information. This book, more than many like it, will entice readers to consult it over and over, consistently finding new information each time they do. Highly recommended for all libraries."
