"*Guiberson speaks of frog voices as a beacon. . . . Spirin's paintings make this a book to treasure." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

"The fascinating facts and impressive tempera, watercolor, and pencil illustrations make this a distinctive introduction to frogs." --Booklist
"This nonfiction book shows why the boreal forest, home to a unique ecosystem of plants and animals, is as big and important as tropical rain forests." --USA Today on Life in the Boreal Forest
"Gorgeously intricate illustrations perfectly complement equally evocative text in this introduction to the great northern, or boreal, forest, which sprawls across the entire northern hemisphere. . . . Guiberson and Spirin manage to successfully convey the beauty and majesty of this forest and its denizens in two dimensions, and a list of organizations devoted to preserving the forest provides further information. An author's note adds urgency to the message about the importance of preservation." --Booklist, starred review on Life in the Boreal Forest
"Taking readers through the seasons, Guiberson and Spirin present a verbal and pictorial treasury for nature lovers and young researchers alike." --School Library Journal on Life in the Boreal Forest
"Beautiful and useful." --Kirkus Reviews on Life in the Boreal Forest
"Each of the stunning paintings in this catalog of the boreal forest, the great northern forest, is breathtakingly beautiful. They are in the style of Audubon and other great naturalist painters. They breathe life into the creatures, give texture to their fur and feathers and capture a sense of place." --The Oppenheim Toy Portfolio on Life in the Boreal Forest
