AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Mould introduces readers to animals, bugs, and even plants that are doing amazing things. These living creatures are personified as different types of scientists that use chemistry, engineering, math, and more throughout their lives. Humans have learned from and copied some of these techniques. What will you do with this knowledge?
Clever Creatures is written as a bunch of fun facts that teach about these living organisms without a storyline or an intimidating paragraph of information. While the fun facts can be read in any order, the nonintuitive layouts on each page felt confusing sometimes, as if I was reading the information out of order. Overall, though, I loved reading this book because of the “wow” moments I experienced -- and because I then felt compelled to find someone with whom to share my new knowledge and awe.
