"Styraki is Fred Rogers meets Ms. Frizzle"
-- Suzanne Lyons, science author and owner of CooperativeGames.com

"Styraki is one cool smartasaurus!"
-- Steven Klein, Wowwee Entertainment

"I can't imagine children at several age levels not engaging themselves with the text, art work and story line. Technical aspects of print, color and pictorial presentations are very well done. This book provides and integrates learning experiences across the curriculum while introducing "fledgling" little scientists and their colleagues to their field(s)in a fun, imaginative way. Teachers - not to worry about time - much work is already done for you through Styraki's activity corners."
