Review # 1 was written on 2019-02-04 00:00:00 Lisa Weisz This is the only work of complete non-fiction on my list. I'm not sure that this is the copy that I had growing up or that sits in my mom's classroom, it looks to be roughly the same though so hopefully it's the same in some important ways. I'm shocked by how popular this book is when students can choose any book, they would fight over it if we would let them. Since this is a book that children seem naturally interested in it might be a good entry point into the 2nd grade literacy standard, "2.RI.5 Know and use various text features (e.g., captions, bold print, subheadings, glossaries, indexes, electronic menus, icons) to locate key facts or information in a text efficiently." I find myself being asked, by kindergarteners, to read "the words under the pictures" quite often; I'm trying to convince them to call them captions. This book perhaps accompanied by a few others might be good to have on hand as students explore a topic. They could be given either worksheets with a topic of their choice and blanks for specific information or asked to write their first research piece. They would do so by using text features to explore the book and their topic.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-03-16 00:00:00 Lisa Amundson A visual encyclopedia with sparse text. For example, in the section "Growing food," the entry for "Vineyards" reads "Grapes grow on vines in special fields called vineyards. Grapes are eaten fresh, or crushed to make juice or wine." A reference to Grapes also appears under "Foods we eat; Fruit."
