Reviews"These easy readers introduce distinctly different animals (some, such as pigeons, prairie dogs, and bats, are united in their 'perceived pest' status) in a fun way. Fresh photography, a creative use of graphics, and a collagelike layout make them eye-catching. Interactive text ('Why are all these bats upside down?') and a 'Fun Facts' page in Bats, Pigeons, and Snails will engage readers. Each book ends with a labeled diagram of the animal, a range map, and a further-reading list that includes print and online resources in a single list, a nice way of validating both types of materials." --School Library Journal, "As a classroom teacher, I was impressed with many aspects of this book. It's perfect for research reports because of its beautiful photographs and interesting morsels of information. The graphic design of the contents page, on which the page numbers are in bubbles, is interesting and inviting. The map and diagram were excellent ideas and perfect for this nonfiction text. The glossary, with challenging vocabulary words and easy-to-understand definitions, is an excellent and crucial addition. This book would be great for a classroom read-aloud. The colorful photographs, entertaining information, and print size allow it to be used in small- and large-group settings. The interactive text asks students questions throughout. Students will enjoy the beginning of the book, when they are asked to make faces and sounds like a bat. The text boxes on various pages are in fun locations with a different font and print color. The author uses 'Watch Out!' and 'Look!' in bold print to capture readers' attention. The author personalized the book by asking the question, 'Who gives you piggyback rides?' The lightning bolt at the top of a page warns that a new idea will be discussed. In summary, the book has many excellent possibilities for use. It could be an easy read for a child, a great read-aloud for teachers to supplement a unit of study, an entertaining book to read around Halloween time, and/or a useful book for a research report for an early childhood reader." --NSTA, "In summary, the book has many excellent possibilities for use. It could be an easy read for a child, a great read-aloud for teachers to supplement a unit of study, an entertaining book to read around Halloween time, and/or a useful book for a research report for an early childhood reader." --NSTA
