Critics Review
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: Robots and Drones:
“The sequential art–which features a diverse cast of young STEM enthusiasts, including one wearing a hijab–infuses the discourse with life”-School Library Journal
“A lighthearted, enjoyable introduction to a fascinating subject.”-Kirkus
