Review Quotes:
Praise for Science Comics: Rocks and Minerals:
"A rock-solid review for serious students of our planet's story, infused with humor and wonder."--
School Library Journal,
starred review Praise for the Science Comics series:
"This series--written by a handful of authors--seems determined to offer a useful introduction to anything a curious grade-school student might wonder about. The insight behind these books is a powerful one. So much information about the world around us is actually better conveyed visually, through charts, illustrations, and sequential panels, than purely using words." --
New York Times "Like having a Time Life Science Library in comic books. Which is awesome!" --
