Synopsis
From School Library Journal Grade 4-5-Visually inviting, this series entry has colorful drawings, a minimum of text, and a format dependent upon breaking a large topic into small segments that can be contained on facing pages. Subjects such as "Our rocky world," "Layers of life," and "Precious gemstones" are covered briefly in introductory paragraphs and captions accompanying the eye-catching art. Very simplistic in approach (not all aluminum ends up as cans), this slender work will attract browsers in a classroom collection, but is not a first choice for libraries. Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc. Review Children's Literature The illustrative full-color paintings present enough detail to illuminate the text without overwhelming it. Includes glossary and index. 2000, Kingfisher, Ages 6 to 10, $12.95. Reviewer: Susan Hepler—Children's Literature School Library Journal Visually inviting, this series entry has colorful drawings, a minimum of text, and a format dependent upon breaking a large topic into small segments that can be contained on facing pages.
