Editorial Reviews

11/01/2017
K-Gr 2—This early reader series examines the creation of six different geological formations. Each text begins with a brief definition of the geological feature, discusses how it's formed, and concludes with descriptions of different types of formations. For example, Lakes differentiates among craters, glaciers, and man-made lakes. Short, readable sentences make these titles ideal for young scientists to practice their independent reading. Stock photography sits opposite each page of text. Some of the titles include diagrams, and each has a glossary of new words. VERDICT A general pick for early reader nonfiction collections.
