Reviews

Gr 6 Up-Introductions to different opportunities in community service. Focusing on animal care, literacy, health care, and neighborhood programs and services, the books explain the nature of the work; its rewards; deciding if it is right for you; what volunteers can do; and where to find organizations that need help. The texts are easy to read and contain many quotes from active volunteers. While the author's examples are drawn mostly from the same area of the country, there is enough information provided about national programs to keep the regional focus in balance. Black-and-white photographs of related projects are generously presented. This set complements Linda Duper's 160 Ways to Help the World (Facts On File, 1996) and Arlene Erlbach's The Kids' Volunteering Book (Lerner, 1998).-Jana R.
