Reviews
Grade 2-3-Aimed at the audience long claimed by the "True Books" series (Children's), these science primers contain enough specific information to challenge young readers' understanding without overwhelming them. Flanagan describes how igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are formed, gives examples of each, describes erosion, and closes with elementary advice for budding rock hounds. Beginning with the Sun, Rau takes readers on a quick tour of the solar system, including its meteors, comets, and moons, and then looks outward to extra-solar planetary systems. Dashed borders and often-superfluous little arrows give many pages an overdesigned look, but the many color photos and paintings, reproduced with acceptable if not outstanding clarity, are chosen with an eye for content rather than superficial drama. Intellectually stimulating choices for children curious about what's underfoot, and overhead.
