Gr 4—6—These well-designed books present different aspects of life on Earth and how they affect human beings. With information about water supplies and melting ice and their impact on ecosystems, the discussion in Climate of global water levels is especially enlightening. Farming includes a chapter on new types of farms and foods. Planet discusses natural events and disasters, such as avalanches, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, lightning, volcanoes, and windstorms. Energy has separate chapters on fossil fuels, renewable energy, nuclear energy, and more. The many large, colorful photos will engage readers and assist them in understanding the important concepts introduced.—Caroline Geck, Newark Public Schools, NJ
