Media reviews

“In the official companion to the fall TV special, zebras throng the East African plains, sharks slice through the waters off Baja California, and king penguins totter across islands of the Southern Ocean. The photos are rendered in instantly recognizable National Geographic style, vivid and clear.” –EW.com (Entertainment Weekly)
 
“Great Migrations tackles everything from ants to elephants, and even sea life—including Earth’s largest fish, the whale shark. The movement and images of all of these creatures is no less than breathtaking, and writer K.M. Kostyal brings all of the images into perspective with excellent accompanying text.” –BookPage
 
“Brings nature to life with a visual and emotional wallop…a wondrous new jaw-dropper… movingly beautiful…” –The Washington Post
 
“…details, with amazing photos, the astonishing distances covered and dangers faced by creatures ranging from monarch butterflies to sperm whales.” –San Antonio Express-News
 
“Author K. M. Kostyal keys on the internal and external forces behind these journeys, which sometimes sends two species into a choreographed collision.” –Access Atlanta
