This [book] maintains a sense of wonder at the phenomenon it is describing while conveying a great deal of accurate and appropriately detailed information. Sanfelippo's bright line and soft color illustrations use fanciful forms and varied perspectives to convey complex ideas. . . . Science is artistic and enthralling here.
