Maddeningly, I could not get my Fire to cooperate and let me write some kind of review yesterday. Scientists in the Field Series I've read two now, and on behalf of the parents of inquisitive children, let me say "Thank You! HMH Books for Young Readers, thank you so much for producing non-fictio...
Bishop's franchise uses a boilerplate technique that works well for an informational series. It's hard to argue with large full-color close-up photos of animals in action. Bishop's photos are extremely powerful manipulations of light and color, and the design of the text and facing pages is done to ...
Not many would dare to title their book not just an enormous broad subject name (Snakes) but would actually be bold enough to include their own name to describe the subject of the book (Nic Bishop Snakes). And to do so with our blessing, because he has done it before (Nic Bishop Spiders, Nic Bishop ...

While a great deal of information is shared, the use of varied type size and color helps to break up the text making it less daunting for young readers. Really neat 2 page spread where the author shares how he researched th...
