Editorial Reviews

K-Gr 1—Uniformly sized to fit small hands but massively divergent in breadth of topic, these primers pair easy-to-comprehend color photos, one per page, with simple descriptive captions of one-to-three short sentences. Oceans is, inevitably, ridiculously superficial, and at the opposite extreme Pulls takes on such a narrow concept that it waxes redundant. The other two titles offer a somewhat better balance between length and content, though in Eating readers are confusingly urged that, "You should eat food from all of the food groups every day" after being informed that "Oils are not a food group, but you need some every day" on a page that features a photo of butter, cake, candies, and a donut. Each volume ends with a suggestion for a doable enrichment activity.
