Reviews
Gr 1-3-Enticing cover photos will draw in primary grade readers for a closer look at these titles. Who could resist a chihuahua in sunglasses or an elephant on a scooter? The prose describes concepts such as reflections, seasons, and states of matter. Key terms appear in bold print and can be found in the picture glossary in the back matter. Photos complement the text in appealing and humorous ways. For example, a dog on a surfboard illustrates how waves can push an object. Questions engage readers in critical thinking and appear on many pages, asking, "How can the sun's bright light affect your skin in summer?" or "How do wheels make it easier to pull this wagon?" Hands-on activities, such as creating a shadow puppet show, encourage readers to test their new knowledge. VERDICT This series features solid introductions to basic science topics.α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
