Canoeing and Kayaking
A worthy purchase, especially if your collection is light on adventure.
In clear, engaging narratives that emphasize the dangers of adventure sports as well as the thrills, these books introduce training and equipment for each sport and discuss the challenges. The layouts can be unfocused, as text in various fonts and sizes vies with many photos, illustrations, fact sidebars, and quick "Thrill Seeker" bios. Still, adventurous kids will be inspired. Glos., ind. Review covers the following Adventure Sports titles: Canoeing and Kayaking, Caving, Hiking, Mountain Biking, Rock Climbing, and Skiing and Snowboarding.
Flowers
Clean design and attractive visuals will hold the attention of browsers and beginning researchers. Purchase the entire set for an integrated overview of plant anatomy.
Vivid photos and labeled diagrams show magnified seed sprouting, pollination, root systems, and more. While designed for new readers, the books contain some challenging botany vocabulary (e.g., epigeal, hypogeal, herbaceous, adventitious roots), defined in glossaries (but not always in-text) without pronunciation guidance; "petiole" is misspelled in the diagram of Leaves. The clear organization could be useful for teaching nonfiction book structure. Glos., ind. Review covers the following Plant Anatomy titles: Flowers, Fruits, Leaves, Roots, Seeds, and Stems.
