About the Author
Jane Walker was born 13 April 1956, has written many books for children on science and nature including the new series Resources.
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6?A different topic is introduced on each double-page spread in one or two simply written paragraphs, usually printed in large type. Each spread contains many full-color illustrations of varying sizes, sometimes framed. A variety of sizes and typefaces are used for the captions, making for a cluttered layout. "Eyewitness" books (Knopf) do a better job on both the layout and the pictures. Thompson's illustrations aim for clarity, but those in Sharks in particular pale in comparison with the fine photographs and more sensitively detailed artwork found in other books on the subject. Kenyon's amusing cartoons appear above the border on each double-page spread; they are less successful on the final pages of "More Fascinating Facts," where more realistic visuals might be expected. As for the "Practical Projects" touted on the cover, only one is included in each volume, and neither is very interesting or relevant. While Walker's titles may serve as browsing items to start readers on a deeper search, there are many better offerings available on both subjects.?Sylvia S.
