COPY ISBN
Gr 2—3—Despite clumsy efforts to crank up the excitement level with frequent boxed side facts headed "Unbelievable!" these imported introductions to some of our planet's more prominent surface features effectively present broad views of what makes each one distinctive. Rivers, for instance, contains spreads on the water cycle, erosion, flood plains, deltas, dams, human transportation, and pollution, among other topics, and along with identifying major ranges, records, and ecosystems, Mountains explains how a contour map works. Each volume is well supplied with large color photos and closes with suggested activities labeled "Cross-Curricular Links."
