From School Library Journal:
Gr 2-3-This brightly colored, approachable series teaches introductory ecology and conservation principles based in familiar settings. Spreads cover subtopics in a few simple sentences, allowing young readers to easily grasp new vocabulary words (which are set apart in bold text) and ideas. The many large color photos complement the text and side boxes list practical ways for kids to make an impact (e.g., "Turn off lights in empty rooms"). Superhero cartoon characters provide redundant tips and unnecessary encouragements, but may be appealing to reluctant readers. Final spreads suggest activities, such as asking an adult to help write letters to local authorities and planting trees, to reinforce learning. End materials include lists of reliable websites for further research and glossaries with thorough definitions but no pronunciation guides. While too short for reports, this series is engaging enough to be read and enjoyed independently. α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
