Follett Early Learning

Library Media Connection (May/June 2012)

Because of minimal text, photographs and illustrations are even more important and necessary in this series. Forecasting Weather is the most problematic, but despite its shortcomings is an attractive book. The best of the series is The Water Cycle, which is well written and has illustrations that relate directly to the text and are good quality. In an effort to keep the word count low, the authors have sacrificed clarity. All titles include a project and access to the publisher's Facthound website. Glossary. Websites. Table of Contents. Index. Karen Perry, Educational Reviewer, High Point, North Carolina. ADDITIONAL SELECTION.

K-Gr 1-Marred by imprecise language ("Since time began, people have watched the skies;" "Evaporation is the first step in the water cycle"), these primer-level surveys are too uneven to be dependable introductions. Fledgling readers may be drawn to the large, informative photos; the large, spacious-looking spreads; and to the very simple project at the end of each volume. Projects of particular note are crafting a balloon rocket in Space and making recycled paper in Recycle. However, the most useful features here are the closing lists of print and (through the publisher's Web link) Web resources. (c) Copyright 2011.
