American Scientist chose "Anteaters, Bats & Boas" as one of the
top 12 STEM Books for Children Published in 2021.
Click: www.americanscientist.org/blog/science-culture/science-book-gift-guide-2021
"Young animal lovers will find this intricately illustrated children’s book engaging. Anteaters, Bats, and Boas takes an encyclopedic approach, listing many Amazon rainforest species and providing a few interesting facts about each. The short entries are a good fit for young attention spans. On the final spread of pages, illustrations from the previous pages are fitted together, creating a tableau of the entire rainforest—which is an interesting way to introduce a child to the concept of ecosystems. Endnotes discuss the different layers of the rainforest and the importance of conserving it."
