Book Review: Invasive Species
"By taking an overview approach to the problem of invasive species, this entry in the Protecting Our Planet series provides an ideal starting point for deeper investigation--and, best of all, introduces an entire rogue's gallery of freaky flora and fauna."

Series Review:
"What can we do to protect our planet? What does a conservationist do? Is there really an earth-friendly plastic? Find out in this series about Earth, its resources, and the plants and animals that live here. Readers will also enjoy the vibrant full-page photos of wildlife and the Did You Know? facts sprinkled throughout each book. Teachers may use these high-interest, low-level books one-by-one to complement specific lessons, such as recycling, pollution, or endangered animals, or read them together for one complete Earth science unit."
