Science Comics series.
With lighthearted graphic-novel presentations, this series continues to educate readers about science topics. As a little brown bat narrator recovers in a wildlife rehabilitation center, he meets--and introduces readers to--bats from around the globe. The basic comic-book layout and style make the book easy to read, while facts about types of bats, their habitats, diets, etc., are engagingly relayed. Reading list. Glos.

Science Comics series.
In this volume of a continuing series exploring science topics via graphic-novel format, readers learn about plagues, their causes, and how they spread. A scientist communicates with different disease cells (pictured as a blobby face with appendages); this humorous artistic choice lightens a difficult topic. Behind the book's silly premise there's lots to learn from the detailed scientific discussions. Reading list, timeline. Glos.
