Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3?The importance of air is conveyed through Daphne the Damselfly's alphabetically arranged, insect's-eye view of animals that depend on it. Upper-case letters, brightly boxed in a corner of each page, are accompanied by bold-type descriptions of what Daphne sees. Whether encountering "...exciting, emblematic eagles" or joking "...with a jovial junco," each of her observations is accompanied by a longer, factual description of the creature as well. Bold, vibrant colors and animated insects, birds, and bats hop, glide, and flutter across the pages. The dramatic illustrations and fluid writing do not always come together well, however, and the target audience is unclear. With statements such as Daphne "glide(s) by a gargantuan, gangling gallinule," it's too difficult to be an alphabet book for preschoolers, and children seeking information will find that the text is accurate, but that the stylized illustrations don't mesh well with it. Anne Doubilet's Under the Sea from A to Z (Crown, 1991) employs a similar format with greater success.?Lisa Wu Stowe, Great Neck Library, NY

. . .takes the reader on a fun flight to ecological enlightenment. . . the book encourages readers to use "clear thinking" and "decisive action" to clean up the air.
