Praise for the Science Comics series:
This series--written by a handful of authors--seems determined to offer a useful introduction to anything a curious grade-school student might wonder about. The insight behind these books is a powerful one. So much information about the world around us is actually better conveyed visually, through charts, illustrations, and sequential panels, than purely using words. --New York Times Like having a Time Life Science Library in comic books. Which is awesome! --Popular Science, praise for the Science Comics Series Praise for Science Comics: Volcanoes: Chad's well-drawn and clearly labeled diagrams in rich, saturated colors concisely explain key concepts, and vocabulary words are defined both in the text and a glossary. While the stylized cartoon figures and adventure narrative are an entertaining framework, the science fittingly occupies the center stage. --Booklist The artwork is bold and engaging, cleverly intertwining the science and the more fantastical elements of the narrative.-- School Library JournalAbout The Author
