Review Quotes:

"With a smart sense of humor and a creative sense of wonder, younger readers are introduced to the cool parts of evolution." - Horn Book (starred review)

"Sullivan's vignettes have a laid-back earnestness...boldly outlined and employing only three colors-bright red, vivid cerulean, and crisp white. An afterword respectfully delves deeper into the science of it all, but irreverence rules the day, and Sullivan proves that, in this regard, he's a highly evolved talent." - Publishers Weekly
