Editorial Reviews

The format of these books contains large colorful pictures with captions which enhance the text. The brief chapters, written in simple language, have bold glossary words. The theme of helping others is carried out throughout each book. The book about animals demonstrates how to help animals that are in danger, and a chapter on encountering animals would prove very useful for children. This series would be a wonderful addition to books about the community. Bibliography. Glossary. Websites. Table of Contents. Index. Recommended. — Marilyn Teicher, Library Media Specialist, PS 86x, Bronx, New York Library Media Connection Online Aug/Sept 2012; Vol. 31, No. 1
