Dolores Choat, Science and Children (NSTA) After looking through the book, I felt like I'd walked in the front door of heaven. What really impresses me is the scientific learning that you've built into observation, and the chance to draw. I think how you've tied thinking by analogy and theorizing with the loupe is spectacular. Ann H. Zwinger, naturalist, author of The Mysterious Lands; Downcanyon
