Editorial Reviews

STARRED REVIEW! This is a great beginner series, but all students will enjoy these titles. Visuals draw the reader into real life environments which will be familiar to them. The text uses repetition and a large font so it does not overwhelm even the newest reader. The books are perfect to read before visiting the places described.

School Library Connection

A simple, easy-to-read text and large close-up photos offer very basic information about libraries. Topics covered include what people use libraries for and how librarians can help. Each spread features two or three large-type sentences and a colorful photo.
