"An engaging peek into how various creatures cope with the hottest
of days. . . A well-designed, well-written book that offers readers
a greater awareness of and sense of relationship to the other
inhabitants in their environments."—Kirkus Reviews

story interesting, while the handsome watercolor paintings
illustrate each species and its habitat effectively. A quiet,

phenomena."—The Horn Book Guide
