“Besides providing resources for units in science, ecology, and social studies, these titles foster a new appreciation for the diversity and complexity of biomes that cover vast sections of land around the world.”

Children's Book and Play Review

“. . .vivid, breathtaking, and provacative photos. . . the books [A Walk in the Deciduous Forest, A Walk in the Desert, A Walk in the Prairie, A Walk in the Rain Forest] are beautiful, fascinating, and informative.”
Children’s Book and Play Review

Science and Children

“The visual appeal of these three books [A Walk in the Prairie, A Walk in the Desert, A Walk in the Rain Forest] and the high level of information would make them a valuable addition to a middle school library, especially for students with high interest but low reading ability.”
