From School Library Journal:

Kindergarten-Grade 2–These books present factual, clearly-written information on their featured subjects. Readers curiosity will be piqued by the vibrant color photographs, accommodating illustrations, large font size, and helpful captions. Special features include drawings superimposed over photographs, and a zigzag path at the end of each book prompting readers to further explore the topic in new and fun ways, such as building a bear den, imagining what Earth would look like from Venus, explaining what could be done with a trunk instead of a nose, and coloring fingertips with markers to examine a colored fingerprint. This series will be a welcome addition in libraries that do not have The Space Explorer, Natures Patterns, Look After Yourself, Zoo Animals, and Creature Comparisons series (all Heinemann). These new treatments should draw diverse readers and support elementary curricula.–Cara Moffett, Freelance Reviewer
