About the Author
Marilyn Singer has a real affinity for animals and at various stages of her life has shared her household with dogs, cats, pigeons, chinchillas, crows, turtles, and parakeets. She is the author of many books including the poetry collection Turtle in July and the nonfiction work Exotic Birds.
She lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her husband, their standard poodle, named Easy, and several other pets.
Patrick O'Brien got degree in biology before going on to study art. He's been interested in wildlife illustration since he was a child and wanted to be a wildlife researcher while he was growing up. Now he gets to study the animals and draw them without ever leaving his desk.
He lives in Baltimore, Maryland, with his wife and their cat.
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5?Singer describes the distinguishing physical and behavioral characteristics of 14 pairs of similar-looking animals. She differentiates between frogs and toads, koalas and bears, butterflies and moths, whales and fish, etc. Attractive watercolor and gouache paintings of the animals in their natural habitats appear on almost every page. The text is clearly written and logically organized, but it omits some useful information. For instance, while readers learn that "...a honeybee dies after it stings you. But a yellow jacket does not," there is no explanation as to why this is so. Lynda Graham-Barber's Toad or Frog, Swamp or Bog (Four Winds, 1994) examines 18 pairs of look-alikes in the animal kingdom as well as a few examples of wrongly identified weather phenomena, plant species, etc. It is generally more detailed than A Wasp Is Not a Bee and includes some statistics.
