In the past seven years he has focused his work on children’s books, usually with a view toward nature. He lives in Philadelphia and teaches illustration at the University of the Arts. He regularly goes to schools to discuss his work. His illustrations have appeared in the Graphis Annual and several times in the Society of Illustrators.
Gr. 1-2. Beginning readers hungry for animal facts will find this Road to Reading title compelling. Using seals, walruses, mice, cats, and mole rats as examples, the well-written text explores how various animals use their whiskers to protect themselves, navigate, and find food, and it differentiates between features that look like whiskers but aren't, such as a catfish's barbels. The short (four- to five-word) sentences are attractively arranged on the page, accompanied by detailed color illustrations of animals in their natural habitats. A substantive, appealing title designed to be read with an adult but certainly accessible enoughfor new readers to tackle alone. Gillian Engberg
