"DO FISH GO FISHING?: HOW ANIMALS EAT is a great introduction to animals and nature for younger readers. The illustrations are cute and cartoon-y, but I did feel like the text was a bit cluttered with the images. The speech bubbles and pictures add a bit of humor to the book which brought a smile to my daughter's face. I do like how the author incorporated animals that you don't hear much about like platypuses and moose. Final Verdict: Overall, this is a great introduction to animals and their habits for children aged three and up. The illustrations are appropriate and geared toward a younger audience to entertain and engage them." —Bethany Wicker, YA Books Central

"Verdict: This is not only a fun introduction to a variety of animal diets, it's also a great car ride or waiting room book, something that offers lots of interest for kids to pore over while they wait, finding new details in the pictures and additional facts to share. A fun addition to most library collections." —Jean Little Library

Your kid/grand/nibling might just get the spark of science love from this sort of fun and informative presentation, and it's a great hour's down-for-a-nap laptime read." —Richard Derus, Blogger
