Reviews

"[E]ffectively keys readers of both squeamish and non-squeamish temperament into the idea that the natural world is usually closer than it might at first appear."
     —Kirkus Reviews

"A unique, fun survey of insects, birds, and small creatures.... Lovely and realistic color drawings accent a survey which uses the ‘hook’ of a cat's explorations through a traditional European garden as a foundation for outdoor discoveries. An inviting, wonderful coverage, Creepy Crawlies is enthusiastically recommended for young and curious readers."
     —Midwest Book Review - Bookwatch

"Delightful. This is a beautifully illustrated book, full of valuable facts and details about the natural world."
