Gr 2–4—Readers will discover 34 facts about the wonders of the world, space, sports, and more in this series. Full-page photos with one short sentence per page in bold text on a contrasting background, make titles quick and accessible for each high interest topic. Every book in the series has "list breaks" where topics are easily connected to statistics, such as Venus is the hottest planet at 867 degrees Fahrenheit (Space). Depending on the topic, famous people in history are highlighted in the titles. The back matter includes a glossary, resources for further reading, and an index. While the titles are each extremely short, the vocabulary is higher depending on the topic. VERDICT Good pick for elementary readers who like lists and quick facts about a subject.
