Reviews

Grade 2–5—The bite-size, nonsequential pieces of information in these lighthearted books will appeal to reluctant readers. Small illustrations and multicolored rectangles break up the fascinating, fact-filled pages. Antarctica includes a chapter on how the Earth has changed, with tidbits on fossils and population and climate fluctuations. The chapters in Millionaires cover wealthy individuals, banks, spending, and bills. Blink includes some great gross-out facts, such as "When the inventor of the modern Frisbee, Ed Headrick, died, his ashes were molded into Frisbees." These fun, if not vital, additions are reminiscent of a simplified Guinness Book of World Records.—Nicole Waskie, Chenango Forks Elementary, Binghamton, NY
