"Brisk text is packed with facts about whale biology and behavior and climate change.... Sly humor balances serious observations about ecological damage and the interconnected nature of life on Earth." --Horn Book Magazine Praise for the Science Comics series: "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!" --Popular Science
