Curious About REVIEWS
Curious about Mythical Creatures Series Review
This appealing series on a perennially popular topic is highly recommended for public and school libraries. —School Library Journal
Curious about Pets Series Review
A solid introduction for kids interested in less common pets. —School Library Journal
Curious about UFOs STARRED REVIEW
High-quality, captioned photos and simple infographics support the text, which never exceeds a nicely spaced paragraph on a page. While the book describes how secret government projects and natural phenomena have led to many UFO reports, it never dismisses the possibility of alien life outright, and readers will appreciate both the information and having that door left open. —Booklist
