review 1: This is a non-fiction picture book about the symbiotic relationships between certain pairs of animals. The attractive paper art by Robin Page and the graphic novel layout make this book entertaining as well as informative. At the back of the book is area further explaining symbiosis. The animals featured in the book are also identified by name, size, habitat, and diet. This book is ideal for: elementary school students with animal research, animal buffs, reluctant older readers, and to explain a complex concept in an effective, refreshing way.
review 2: I don’t remember when I first learned that certain animals who would ordinarily be enemies have evolved to help each other, perhaps when I first read an old picture book titled Bill and Pete by Tomi DePaola ab... moreout an alligator and his “trusty toothbrush”, otherwise known as a plover. This book is crammed with example after example of those unlikely pairings. Arranged in cells, rather like a comic, using the narrative style to relay the information. less
