Library Media Connection - Sheila Acosta

What set this series apart is the eye-catching double-page layouts accompanied by bold typography and inviting sidebars. Because each book focuses on the top ten areas, readers are introduced to exciting places around the world. For each of the areas listed, each author cites location, type of landform, an explanation of its formation, and height or area. Pertinent facts are enclosed in attractive bordered boxes that young readers will find easy to read. Extremely helpful are the striking full-colored photographs on every page, and the globe insets and maps. Ecology-minded science teachers will especially like the sections on dangers facing each specific landform as well as the single page of facts and figures. Readers at any age will surely enjoy the "amazing" facts about the highest, the longest, or the widest, and librarians will definitely want to add this exciting and informative series to their collection.
