Great Brands - Perspectives

Perspectives
Perspectives, for grades 3-5, covers core curriculum topics with an emphasis on research skills.  With a visually stunning design that will draw readers in, this new collection of books aims to give young independent readers new perspectives on the topics they are studying such as looking at the human body from the inside-out.  This idea makes these books more approachable than other information books without compromising the accuracy and relevance of the information.

By combining core non-fiction features with a visually stunning design, Perspectives offer exciting titles for readers moving from books with big pictures and a small amount of text to research texts which are much more text-heavy.
