A Junior Library Guild selection "Flood's standout bird portraits
use saturated colors to make plumage patterns particularly vivid
and sharply defined lines for painstakingly detailed beaks and
talons... [Science Comics: Birds of Prey] feeds, in a frank but not
gratuitously gory way, middle graders' hunger to learn more about
some of the animal world's most fierce and splendid predators."
--School Library Journal
"A fun, fact-filled romp through the world of raptors."--Kirkus
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
