Reviews
Gr 1-3--Loaded with fascinating facts and colorful drawings, these titles will prove useful and fun for students. Spiders answers questions about arachnids young readers might never have thought to ask. For example, they learn that spiders must spin a new web daily since old threads lose their stickiness and break easily. Allan Fowler's Spiders Are Not Insects (Children's Press, 1996) covers some information not found here, but is drier in text and appearance. Trains offers facts not included in Angela Royston's Trains (S & S, 1992). Projects are simple enough to be done without adult supervision. Search-and-find activities sprinkled throughout the texts will be popular with today's Where's Waldo? loving crowd. Bold lettering (interspersed black pages have white print) is easy on readers' eyes. Italicized words appear in the appended glossaries. There are no pronunciation guides for challenging words such as "arachnophobia" and "cylinders" but never mind; these titles are designed to instill interest in students and as such they are fine starting points for further learning.
