School Library Journal Review
K-Gr 2-These books aim to introduce beginning readers to basic concepts in an entertaining manner. The author employs familiar characters from Dr. Seuss's "Cat in the Hat" titles to present information showing the diverse range of birds and mammals. The manic parade of rhyming facts, however, is confusing and contrived. Fine Feathered Friends is annoyingly superficial. In Is a Camel a Mammal?, a number of examples prove that mammals come in all sizes, live in many types of environments, and have various eating habits. Two basic facts, however, are mentioned in the glossary but not in the text: that mammal babies feed on their mothers' milk, and that they have backbones. In both books, the cartoon illustrations fail to distinguish among the many creatures. Series such as "Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science" (HarperCollins), "Read and Wonder" (Candlewick), and Jim Arnosky's "Crinkleroot" books (S & S) are all better choices.-Marilyn Taniguchi, Santa Monica Public Library, CA (c) Copyright 2010.

Horn Book Review
The Cat in the Hat, Thing 1, and Thing 2 tell Sally and her brother some facts about birds, including basic characteristics (they have feathers and lay eggs), and describe the behavior of different varieties. The rhyme and illustrations are done in Seuss's style but without his deftness. The book has child appeal, but the information is thin and the illustrations are more silly than helpful.
