Library Media Connection
Each book answers basic questions about the animal covered in a predictable format, a perfect premise for younger students. Text answers the basic questions of what, how, and where. The sentences on each page are short, with unfamiliar words highlighted. Illustrations are bright full-page spreads and match the corresponding text well. Some illustrations utilize labeling or have picture inserts to carefully highlight an item of text. “On the Web” sections take readers to Factsurfer.com where additional information can be found. Most of the information in these links is relevant but at a higher ability level than the books, so adult help would be needed. Bibliography. Glossary. Index. Recommended.
