Arms and Hands
Promising choices that can be shared with small groups or browsed by individuals looking for basic information on the subjects.
Beyoncé: Singer, Songwriter, and Actress
Recommended for the historical biographies, particularly Phillis Wheatley and Crispus Attucks.
Cups, Bowls, and Other Football Championships
Not a blowout winner, but worthwhile if your football collection has a losing record.
Peeking Under Your Skin
Good additional choices for science collections.
A direct-address text with short sentences and not-too-challenging vocabulary takes readers "under the skin" for an accessible tour through human body systems. Oriented vertically, the uncluttered double-page spreads include bright and detailed cross-section illustrations of a body, helpful diagrams and insets, and "Did You Know?" sidebars. "Common Core Critical Thinking" questions are appended. Reading list. Glos.
Covered in Water
Beneath Your Feet's exploration of groundwater and Say Hello's clear explanations of water's properties rank as top choices, but the entire series merits first-purchase consideration.
With some repetition across volumes, the series surveys topics related to water and earth's water resources, including the water cycle, groundwater, river flow, saltwater formation, and brief mentions of chemical make up. Unfocused layouts include early-elementary-accessible text, well-labeled diagrams and charts, illustrative photos, and sidebars that look like water splashes. A "Science Lab" activity concludes each book. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers the following Drip, Drip, Drop: Earth's Water titles: Covered in Water, Say Hello to H2O, The Water Beneath Your Feet, What's So Fresh About Fresh Water?, and Why Is Seawater Salty?.
Creepy-Crawly Crafts
Gentle reinforcement for new or struggling readers, but throwaway craft results otherwise.
Clothes Around the World
Interesting text and visual appeal make this set an attractive addition for beginning readers and to read aloud.
Bridges
Additions to an essential series: consider to fill collection gaps or to replace older titles.
