The Horn Book Guide
“Varied close-up and annotated photographs point out the many differences between the two largest species of birds on earth, in various categories such as habitat, physiology, and reproductive habits. Although the layout is colorful, it’s a little busy, but nature fans won’t mind.” —The Horn Book Guide

Booklist
“Kids are always going to capture bugs in jars and chase lizards into the weeds, not because they’re cruel but because they’re curious. The Animal Look-Alikes series funnels this curiosity into teachable moments by providing young ones with the tools to look at these animals with a scientific eye.” —Booklist
