Her family got a phone call and Shari got in the car and followed them to find her body lying on a cold metal slab. She was dead. They said it was suicide. But she knew she had been murdered. This book proves the point. "we respect the living but we owe the dead the ...

I didn't know that!!
This book is NOT just for kids!! I read it to my baby cousin and reread it after she fell asleep! It was a fascinating read, very well written and well supported by imaginative drawings. My favorite section, about the bugs, is simply amazing and my baby cousin loved it, too! Great stuff.

A good and lively introduction to the reproductive imperative
I was not sure as I began reading this book if it wasn't going to be a little too much of a popularization and a little too crude. But I soon started to appreciate the scope of the book and the inclusion of a wide range of evidence from insects to humans. This book is an accessible introduction to animal (including human) mating sysems and covers a wide range of aspects of reproductive behavior. ...

Excellent bedtime "story" for young naturalists
We read a lot of stories here at bedtime but it is so wonderful to find a nonfiction title that fits cozily into that right-before-lights-out mix. This new book by Batten is a gentle, interesting look at how important sleep is, and how sleep patterns, postures, and places vary among the creatures of the earth. It's also appropriately playful. (The opening sentence is: "Shhh. Please don't wake the ...

Interesting details on plants
I bought this book along with Plants Bite Back. We had already read our library copy of the Plants Bite Back and I actually was not sure I needed another book on carniverous plants. To my surprise, this little book offers other very important and interesting details on plants that are not in the other book (which is an excellent book also). I am glad we got this book (e.g.it explained why we ...

Interesting, and Original
This book is very interesting, original, and talks about a lot of different animals. I like science, yet I was surprised to find animals in this book I had not heard of. It is a very cute book, I loved sharing it with my five year old. Super great find-at an Aquarium in Baltimore. We highly recommend it!!!

Simply Perfect
This is one awesome book, for kids and for adults. Not much seems to be offered regarding bioluminescence in mainstream science books and it's very nice to see this beautiful book being offered for kids. It's wonderfully and clearly written, the pictures and photography are literally "out of this world". I bought it for my kids, but to be honest, I really bought it for myself. This is simply one ...

Fun, informative and great springboard for conversation..
I read this to my 4 year old boy and he was totally engrossed in it. It provides a very natural springboard to other conversations regarding bodies, facts of life, etc. Plus the illustrations are great - good lines, colors. Multicultural and because it also shows other mammals, very attention-getting. Would recommend without hesitation.

Great book for kids and adults
I gave this book to my 3 yr old neice and 6 yr old nephew, and they were as fascinated by it as their mother and father were. The pictures are wonderful and the text really gives you the feel of what the lives of one of the last groups of hunter gatherers in the world are like. And it paints a detailed and fascinating picture of what it is like to be an anthropologist studying and loving a people ...
