Gr 1-3-Just the tickets for inquiring young minds, these perspective-broadening introductions start with familiar activities or items and go on to examine how they work or where they come from. In Playground, for instance, a look at a slide expands into discussions of gravity and friction; and Book touches on writing, illustrating, editing, papermaking, color printing, libraries, Braille, and more. Whew! Along with big, colorful photos or photo-collage illustrations, these volumes are enhanced by extensive glossaries and features ranging from quizzes and science activities to a tempting recipe for chocolate cake. The energetic designs are cheerful and inviting. α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
