Editorial Reviews

Each title begins with a table of contents followed by a picture glossary with a photo from the book and a word from the text. The glossary engages readers and is repeated at the end of the text with the words defined and used in sentences. Comprehension and critical thinking questions and an index round out the back matter. Children of different skin tones populate each title. The background for each page is a color photograph related to the symbol, and one to two simple sentences are superimposed on it. A computer-generated car graphic appears intermittently throughout the series, perhaps to interest young readers. Some may find the car’s presence confusing since it shows up in odd places a few times. VERDICT A fine introduction to U.S. landmarks and nonfiction for the youngest of readers. - SLJ Fall 2019
