Author Elizabeth Dylan offers a look into animals that scientists call "biologically immortal" -- don't worry, she explains what that means -- like Glass Sponges and Tardigrades (water bears) with each one's basic "secret" to extreme longevity. Just like her other in her "Amazing Animals" Series ("Pandas", "Reindeer", and "Foxes"), this is a great "read together" book that parents will find interesting and that should spark curiosity in the minds of younger kids. Older children will want to read it on their own and then probably head straight to the Internet to learn more. For a book that kids will come back to again and again, this one is a good choice.
