"Quiet, pleasing ink-and-watercolor pictures illustrate the text,
and an attractive two-page classification chart shows 'Life on
Earth,' divided and subdivided into categories. This picture book
provides young children with a simple, informative, age-appropriate
introduction to mammals."-Booklist
"Largely eschewing scientific vocabulary in favor of clear
explanations (the terms 'vertebrates' and 'invertebrates' are
introduced in a diagram in the backmatter), Rockwell's text focuses
on the concepts. The fine-lined ink-and-watercolor illustrations
are as clear and straightforward as the text, with the carefully
labeled renderings of the animals examined particularly meticulous.
. . . A clear, respectful introduction." -Kirkus Reviews
"Ink-and-watercolor illustrations are detailed and complement the
text nicely. . . . A solid option for classrooms and
libraries"-School Library Journal
"[Readers will] learn plenty about the ways that animals are
categorized and classified." -Publishers Weekly
