Library Media Connection - Melinda W. Miller

This extremely worthwhile series discusses what citizenship is and why it is important. In each book, the individual topic is defined. The text presents a multitude of realistic situations to which young children will relate. There are "Think About It" fact boxes and checklists that aid in understanding and that will spark discussion. All are filled with captioned, color photographs that relate to the text. The information is relevant and current. There are other sets on similar topics; and although this one is written at a slightly higher reading level, the fact boxes that ask for thoughts and ideas and the checklists are a very positive addition. If you need a series to update or add to what you have, strongly consider this high quality set. This publisher also has a similar series called Citizenship (2008) that is for younger children.
