About the author

Jeanne Bendick was born February 25, 1919, in New York City. When she was growing up, her grandfather taught her how to draw. He often took her to the American Museum of Natural History in New York to see the different kinds of art.

In her books, Jeanne Bendick liked to make her drawings very simple. In many of her books, she helps her readers see how science is a part of everyday life. With her words and pictures, she takes things that are complicated and makes them easy to understand.

Jeanne Bendick wrote over 100 books and also wrote filmstrip and television scripts.

[Zoii Vogt · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book seemed inclusive by displaying different racial identities (very stereotypical; it's an old book). I did not like this book; the concept was there, but the drawings of genitals and ideas seemed very inappropriate for young children.
