American Crows
Although not highly dynamic, these are fine choices to fill subject needs.
These books provide facts about two familiar birds. Reader-friendly
spreads offer easy-to-understand information on each bird's
habitat, physical appearance, diet, life cycle, and behavior.
Close-up photographs are prominently featured throughout.
Kid-friendly text, with highlighted vocabulary words, makes the
information accessible to young readers. Map. Glos., ind. Review
covers these Checkerboard Library: Backyard Animals titles:
American Crows and Hummingbirds.
Predators of Asia and Australia
The variety of animals may provide subject coverage, but kids looking for predators in action can find more suitable titles, such as Jim Arnosky's Tooth and Claw: The Wild World of Big Predators (Sterling, 2014), Camilla de la Bedoyere's "Animal Attack" series (QEB), and Gareth Stevens's "Animal Attack!" books.
All About Baseball
This well-crafted series is an excellent choice for the youngest sports-minded pre- and emergent readers.
These books present very rudimentary introductions to the basics of
hockey and football. Football explains such concepts as
offense, defense, downs and distance, equipment, and the playing
field. Hockey includes positions, face-offs, power plays,
scoring points, and equipment. The large type, full-color
photographs, and primary-colored fact boxes will appeal to
beginning readers and newcomers to each sport. Reading list. Glos.,
ind. Review covers the following A+ Books: All About Sports titles:
All About Football and All About Hockey.
Animals Helping to Detect Diseases
This is first-rate nonfiction for browsing, doing research for reports, or reading from cover to cover.
An Insider's Guide to Wrestling
Many libraries will welcome this series for its coverage of sports that don't receive much attention, such as field hockey, lacrosse, and water polo.
Martial Arts For Athletic Conditioning: Winning Ways
All but the most zealous fans will find this set disappointing.
Little League World Series
Both readable and balanced, these well-crafted books help young sports fans connect with social studies and history.
Robert Crowther's Pop-up Dinosaur ABC
While the pop-ups themselves aren't visually stunning and the factual information is brief, the words and movable images work together to create an introduction to dinosaurs that has great child appeal.
