This book sells itself. From its bright cover to the winsome title, cartoon bubble conversations between animals and scientists and welcoming graphic/print format, readers will have no trouble finishing this book. And the true beauty of it: readers will learn a mountain of facts about interesting animals from bonobos to the humpback whale.
Each scientist featured has their work explained in a fun, inventive way: part comic book, part non-fiction, part animal encyclopedia of facts, How Do Meerkats Order Pizza is an entertaining romp for all readers. Reluctant readers will have no trouble reading this entire book in one sitting.
Each animal's habitat, diet, appearance and behaviors are presented to inquisitive readers. This book makes the perfect gift for that child who loves animals and likes to read non-fiction. Complete with a glossary, How Do Meerkats Order Pizza? will likely be heavily awarded for 2023. A superb achievement!
Highly, highly recommended grades 3-up.
