About this title

From School Library Journal

Gr 3-7-These colorful books are jam-packed with facts about a variety of high-interest topics. As one might expect, each title offers a plethora of numbered tidbits about the topic at hand. Each fact is really a paragraph, and most page spreads have five "facts" on them. The books are heavily illustrated with colorful drawings and photographs, each of which has a corresponding caption. Most pages also have a callout box with a quiz, an activity, or additional facts. Each spread, therefore, has a lot to look at and digest. Some readers may find the format to be too busy and distracting, but kids who are used to their text in small chunks may welcome the format. Reluctant readers and visual learners will enjoy browsing these titles, but researchers should be aware that the books contain no documentation of the authors' sources.-Marcia Kochel, The Galloway School, Atlanta, GA (c) Copyright 2010.
