Editorial Reviews

04/01/2020

Gr 1–3—This series mixes humor and facts to engage readers. The jokes start on the cover with a pun from the featured animal ("This book is MAA-velous!" says the goat). Layouts present splashes of textual information, mostly arranged in word balloons of varied shapes. A spread on the black bear's senses, for instance, includes interesting information about smell, hearing, and vision, along with a fact about the brain and a "That's extreme!" box about running speed, plus a riddle. Text insets are well placed around the featured photograph, and the color coding and different shapes make the visual presentation pleasing and easy to follow. Photos are useful; many also add to the lighthearted tone. Some spreads use a series of three or four images (numbered and captioned) to convey information. VERDICT A well-executed mixture of facts and humor that should appeal to browsers and reluctant readers.
