megan_mc_griest's review
3.0
While I liked the information presented in this nonfiction book, I didn’t love the narrative woven throughout to demonstrate the facts. I also wasn’t a fan of the illustrations, but that’s just a personal preference. My seven year old enjoyed reading this with me although it would probably be better for older readers.

I received a copy of Chasing Bats and Tracking Rats by Cylita Guy and illustrations by Cornelia Li from Annick Press in exchange for an honest review.
This was a wonderful non-fiction title that explored urban ecology and all the species of life that shares the urban environment with humans. Many different scientists and urban ecologists shared their studies in this book and the book gives great insight into the work that they do and how their research can help humans understand the nature at work even in the busiest and most bustling of cities. I am particularly pleased that this book features Canadian cities as well - yes, Toronto! - and I will be using this book in the classroom with students.
