Don't Know Much About series.
Illustrated by
Pedro Martin.
A breezy style and cartoon illustrations belie the solid, clearly presented information on dinosaurs. Using a question-and-answer format, Davis covers when and how the dinosaurs lived, how they looked, how we know about them, and what mistakes paleontologists have made over the years. The timeline focusing on dinosaur discoveries from 1824 on is of special note. Unfortunately, there is no bibliography.

Pedro Martin.
Parker (a perpetual nose-picker) flicks his boogers into the fish tank, wipes them on the walls, and feeds them to his dog. Although his family and teacher disapprove, Parker continues picking until his finger gets stuck up his nostril. Martin's bold, digitally rendered cartoon illustrations are full of gross-out humor, but the point of the joke wavers uncertainly.

Illustrated by
Pedro Martin.
This book uses a sometimes forced question-and-answer format to impart basic facts about the planets, stars, and space exploration. The text, accompanied by comic color artwork, occasionally employs weak humor.
