Anita Sanchez's books include the middle grade novel, The Invasion of Sandy Bay, and an adult book on the history of dandelions titled The Teeth of the Lion. She lives on a farm in upstate New York with her husband and two sons. Robin Brickman's illustrations are three-dimensional images that she sculpts using watercolors, painted paper, scissors, and glue. Her books include A Log's Life and One Night in the Coral Sea, both of which were selected for the John Burroughs List of Nature Books for Young Readers; and Beaks!, which was a Junior Library Guild selection. She lives in western Massachusetts."This attractive informational picture book provides a strong overview of poison ivy... Sanchez conveys solid information on this potentially irritating plant through a delightful narrative... Brickman's detailed watercolors depict a host of varied wildlife interacting with the plant or coexisting with it... Useful content becomes engaging and compelling... A strong addition to biology and life studies units, this one may even save kids from an itchy experience." -- School Library Journal "Sanchez introduces a new perspective on this potentially itch-causing plant... While most readers won't become cheerleaders for poison ivy, they will at least come away with a greater understanding of its importance and an increased ability to identify it." -- Kirkus Reviews
