Reviews
Gr 1-3-Large, appealing photos are the dominant feature of this series, which uses a controlled vocabulary of basic sight words. Books begin with a locator map and briefly describe landforms, animals and plants, history, and prominent cities and places. Layouts are attractive, with a combination of full-page shots and thematically grouped collections of smaller photos. Text is generally limited to a single-sentence caption about a place, animal, or plant. Some full-page background photos depict beautiful or remarkable sites but have no captions; some images identify the city where they were taken but not the country. Continents may not be the most obvious choice for early elementary students, but these volumes focus on noteworthy aspects and introduce basic geographical concepts while reinforcing readers' command of sight words. VERDICT Good supplemental purchases for libraries that need interesting choices to encourage nonfiction reading required to satisfy the learning standards.α(c) Copyright 2011.
