“Posada again succeeds in bringing science to kids in this amazing treasure trove of information and beautiful collage art that’s wrapped up in a guessing game. . . Posada’s artwork lends texture and movement to the pages-readers can almost feel the downy softness of the duck’s breast and the rough scales on the baby alligators.” --Kirkus
“Posada’s paint and collage pictures are sumptuous in both texture and color; she beautifully evokes the furriness of a penguin’s belly and the mounded dirt and sticks of an alligator’s swampy nest.”—Publishers Weekly
