ReviewsHow to Clean a Hippopotomus: A Look at Unusual Animal Partnerships with Robin Page "These fascinating stories from the natural world will easily interest young people, many of whom will want to move on from the appended notes about each featured critter to more in-depth titles that further explain the mysteries of animal symbiosis." --Booklist, starred reviewJenkins, SteveNever Smile at a Monkey: And 17 Other Important Things to Remember."This [Monkey] takes the cheesy appeal of the dangerous-animals hook and makes it thoughtful and inventive without robbing it of its melodramatic charm. . . Crisp and clean detail particularly distinguishes this batch of Jenkins' cut-out-collages, laid out with sharp edges against the white backgrounds, so the soft painterly striations and fibrous mottling stand out all the more." --The Bulletin Down, Down, Down One of 8 Notable Children's Books of 2009"Through a magical use of cut paper, Jenkins takes the reader on a voyage to the deepest part of the ocean. Multilayered and multicolored, bizarre creatures almost seem to move on the pa≥ flying squid, cold-eyed mackerel and lacy, bioluminescent siphonophores (lighted up like Broadway bulbs). Helpful descriptions both inform and entertain." --New York Times Book Review "In this plunge into the deep, Jenkins displays his usual keen awareness of what is fascinating about biology and imparts it without sensationalism-the facts speak for themselves . . Sophisticated cut- and torn-paper collage-work fit the alien qualities of the subjects well; it's equally at home capturing the tiered needlepoints of lizardfish teeth as it isdelivering an impressive and illuminating display of bioluminescence."--Booklist "Browsers will be delighted by the variety of species, shown in their appropriate colors although not to scale. Backmatter provides some information about the animals pictured, including sizes compared to a human body or hand, although the bibliography does not seem to include the sources used for those facts. Once again, Jenkins provides an almost irresistible entry into our natural world for the youngest readers."--Kirkus Reviews "Jenkins takes his signature collage to the oceans, sinking readers from the surface of the Pacific Ocean down nearly 11,000 meters to the bottom of the Marianas Trench. His style works well here: with passage into each zone (from the surface to the sunlit zone to the twilight zone, etc.), the blue backgrounds shade darker and murkier, which allows the intricate cut-paper animal illustrations to pop."--Horn Book How Many Ways Can You Catch a Fly'with Robin Page "With clear, gorgeous, freestanding images in cut- and torn-paper collage, each double-page spread shows detailed species close up, as well as the connections between animals. . . . An enthralling read-aloud, especially in small groups, where children can crowd up close to the images." -Booklist,starred review Sisters and Brothers Sibling Relationships in the Animal Worldwith Robin Page "[P]acked with amazing biology...Depicted in crisp, gorgeous, cut-and-torn paper collages..." -Booklist,starred review "...splendid contribution, another winner from an accomplished team." -Kirkus, starred review "...intriguing lore...in gorgeous cut-and-torn-paper collages." -, "The real zoological factsare as thrilling as monster stories....The beautiful cut- and torn-paper collage illustrations are as expertly colored, detailed, and expressive as in the creators' previous titles, and the layout, featuring plenty of white space, nicely spotlights each animal in action....Another stand-out science title from the husband-and-wife team."-- Booklist, starred review "These will be an effective way to introduce animal habits and to link them to human behavior, and they may elicit audience interest in further discussion and exploration." -- Bulletin, "The real zoological factsare as thrilling as monster stories....The beautiful cut- and torn-paper collage illustrations are as expertly colored, detailed, and expressive as in the creators' previous titles, and the layout, featuring plenty of white space, nicely spotlights each animal in action....Another stand-out science title from the husband-and-wife team."--Booklist, starred review"These will be an effective way to introduce animal habits and to link them to human behavior, and they may elicit audience interest in further discussion and exploration." --Bulletin, "The real zoological factsare as thrilling as monster stories....The beautiful cut- and torn-paper collage illustrations are as expertly colored, detailed, and expressive as in the creators' previous titles, and the layout, featuring plenty of white space, nicely spotlights each animal in action....Another stand-out science title from the husband-and-wife team."e" Booklist, starred review "These will be an effective way to introduce animal habits and to link them to human behavior, and they may elicit audience interest in further discussion and exploration." e" Bulletin, "The real zoological factsare as thrilling as monster stories....The beautiful cut- and torn-paper collage illustrations are as expertly colored, detailed, and expressive as in the creators' previous titles, and the layout, featuring plenty of white space, nicely spotlights each animal in action....Another stand-out science title from the husband-and-wife team."- Booklist, starred review "These will be an effective way to introduce animal habits and to link them to human behavior, and they may elicit audience interest in further discussion and exploration." - Bulletin
