Review Quotes: Series Review: Strange Life Cycles "These books deserve attention for far more than their sensational titles. Clearly written, they are bursting with information and intriguing, full-page color photos that enhance understanding of some of nature's most unusual creatures. New vocabulary is introduced on nearly every page and is always well defined in context or in the glossary. ... sidebars, life-cycle diagrams, "Fun Facts" pages, charts, and back matter exemplify nonfiction features at their finest. The graphics are as appealing as the content: simple, eye-catching, and bright. Great for research or independent reading, this series may well turn students into budding biologists." --School Library Journal
