Ideal for educators as well as those curious about money.
While the books are superficial piecemeal, collectively this series could enhance children's basic understanding of money and build an appreciation for America's monetary system. Each book provides just the slightest information on the currency's history, manufacturing, honoree(s), design, and security features. The accompanying photographs include close-ups of discussed features. There are six other fall 2017 books in this series. Reading list, timeline. Glos., ind.
The eye-catching layouts and short bursts of information make these perfect for casual browsing and sharing among friends.
These books explore natural disasters in short passages of attention-grabbing (if sensationalized like the series title) text illustrated with colorful photographs and digital renderings. Misleading terminology and some unclear illustrations may lead to confusion. Each volume is similarly organized, with final spreads dedicated to speculation about future natural disasters and interesting related facts. Timeline. Ind.
An additional purchase for large collections.
Each book in this series looks at a different ancient city or monument and explores unanswered questions about its construction and uses. Both historical and modern views are provided, with differences explained by recent research and technology. Plentiful photographs and illustrations bring the sites to life. "Dig Deep!" and "Myth Alert!" sidebars provide additional interesting context and detail. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind.
A fun way to introduce shapes to tots before going on a scavenger hunt in the library, classroom, or home to find other examples. A strong purchase for early learning collections in public libraries and classroom settings.
