Library Media Connection - Donna Reed

This series makes science high impact and electric. The essential question is on each book’s cover. There are full-color pictures and eye-popping illustrations on quality paper. With no white spaces, every page is an attention-grabbing feast of color and design. Information is dispensed in large type with key words in bold. Interesting facts appear in pop-up balloons making this book an enjoyable read, not just a text that supports a research project. While based on core science curriculum, the series is visually stimulating with photos, artwork, charts, graphs, science activities, projects quizzes, and reviews. These books present science topics in an engaging and comprehensive way that is appealing to today’s visual learners. Bibliography. Glossary. Timeline. Websites. Index. —Donna Reed, Librarian, Newark (Delaware) High School <i> Library Media Connection</i> January/February 2010
