This season’s edition of Series Made Simple brings a collection of nonfiction titles for young readers looking to explore, absorb, and make sense of the world around them. Our reviewers have examined an exciting selection of nonfiction titles for young and older readers alike, curating an array of familiar topics such as animals, biographies, and sports, as well as topics that are ever-evolving, including social justice, health, and environmentalism. Our selection of books provides readers with a way to articulate their feelings and make sense of the world. Kids can learn about making mindful, eco-friendly choices and explore books for astronomy, gaming, and Spanish language. Additionally, we are offering STEM projects in our arts and crafts and science sections as enrichment activities. At the same time, titles at a variety of reading levels are available, including hi-lo titles to engage new and striving readers, and Spanish-language titles for a more inclusive selection. For those eager to explore the physical world around them, check out the new categories of “Geography” and “­Environmentalism.” Whether readers are looking for information on how to express their feelings, learn about a new topic, or take part in projects, Series Made Simple is here to help. We hope you find a little bit of everything for all your unique young readers.
