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!" --Popular Science Praise
for Science Comics: Solar System: "Through a bubbly plot and
charming graphic-novel illustrations, author Mosco and illustrator
Chad (with colorist Healy) create a world in which learning really
is fun and even the faraway Pluto comes within reach...An
anything-but-boring introduction to the beautiful mysteries of the
universe."--Kirkus
"A story line infused with humor and drama adds particular
animation to this entry in the "Science Comics" series; budding
astro-tourists in middle elementary grades will happily sign up for
repeat journeys.-School Library Journal, starred review.
