Praise for Science Comics: The Digestive System: Magic School Bus graduates ready for a busy, heavy informational load will find this just the ticket. ...A fun and challenging introduction. --Kirkus Serious middle school -voyagers who go with the densely informational flow will wind up not intellectually constipated but, like E, -ultimately, flushed with -wonder. --School Library Journal, starred review Praise for the Science Comics series: This series--written by a handful of authors--seems determined to offer a useful introduction to anything a curious grade-school student might wonder about. The insight behind these books is a powerful one. So much information about the world around us is actually better conveyed visually, through charts, illustrations, and sequential panels, than purely using words. --New York Times Like having a Time Life Science Library in comic books. Which is awesome! --Popular Science
