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: Solar System:
“Through a bubbly plot and charming graphic-novel illustrations, author Mosco and illustrator Chad (with colorist Healy) create a world in which learning really is fun and even the faraway Pluto comes within reach…An anything-but-boring introduction to the beautiful mysteries of the universe.”–Kirkus
“A story line infused with humor and drama adds particular animation to this entry in the “Science Comics” series; budding astro-tourists in middle elementary grades will happily sign up for repeat journeys.-School Library Journal, starred review.
