What They're Saying

Critics Review

“Thorough, clearly presented scientific information is lightened by silly asides from dog-narrator Rudy to keep readers entertained and engaged as they learn a huge amount about the science of dogs.” –Kirkus Reviews

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
