Beauty Blitz

Stephanie TURNBULL | SERIES MADE SIMPLE, Apr 01, 2016

A serviceable choice.

This volume suggests ideas for sleepover-party food, from spiced popcorn to no-bake cookies. The book starts by addressing "What to eat" (nachos with TV? full sit-down meal?) and "Where to eat" (bedroom? dining room?). Eight easy-to-follow recipes encourage healthy eating (nachos notwithstanding). Helpful tips/advice accompany a lively mixture of illustrations and photos. Websites. Glos., ind.

Cleaning Water

Rebecca OLIEN | SERIES MADE SIMPLE, Apr 01, 2016

Although collections needing report material might want to add the entire series, those with limited budgets or an ample supply of water-related titles might select only Cleaning Water, a first choice for most libraries.

Some basic concepts--such as where water comes from, how it collects in aquifers, and why we can't drink ocean water--are superficially explained in simple, large-print sentences illustrated with photos and diagrams; fact boxes provide deeper information on some pages. Water conservation is urged toward book's end, and an easy experiment and critical thinking questions are also provided. Reading list. Glos., ind.
