Review:

[reviewed as a series] Incredible series... chock full of information -- but fun, too, with non-technical jargon. (Pamela Fieber Calgary Herald 2007-01-07)

Rarely do you happen across books with such wide appeal.... Jam-packed with facts relevant to [readers'] immediate lives and curiosities. For both young and old these books pack a wallop of 'coolness' value! ... The reader feels a sense of discovery as each book is explored in depth. The illustrations are bright, bold and colourful. (Kelley McGuire Resource Links vol 12 no 4)
