Reviews
...the best part of the series is the set of critical thinking questions at the end of each volume. These questions provide the opportunity for Grades 3-4 students to look more deeply into issues and identify relationships as well as brainstorm ways in which humans can make a difference in protecting our endangered resources. * NSTA Recommends *
...these issues are important, and even if these introductions are stronger on general concepts than specific facts, they should stimulate enough concern to fuel further inquiry. * School Library Journal *
STARRED REVIEW! The colorful text is engaging, and features highlighted and defined keywords, photo illustrations, marginal insets, and a variety of interesting charts and graphs. Educators will approve of the Common Core connections and alignment with Next Generation Science Standards. Young readers will delight in the easy-to-use format of this series for their research needs. * School Library Connection *
