Review # 1 was written on 2014-07-29 00:00:00 Treyvon Davis Children's literature nonfiction reader K-2 This book is one in the Scholastic Reader series to introduce young readers to nonfiction. I liked this book in that it had a photograph on each page to reinforce the text and had important terms in bold. There was a glossary at the end of the book as well. This book could be used in a writing workshop minilesson to introduce nonfiction writing or in reading to teach how to read a nonfiction book. Though the ages said 5-6 on the book, I could see 2nd graders at the beginning of the school year finding a book like this interesting and manageable to read.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-04-21 00:00:00 Patricia Elerick This is a really good beginning nonfiction science book for grades 1-4. It has a lot of facts written to compare with a young student in mind. For example, it compares an empower penguin's size to that of a 6-year-old. Those details will keep the young reader interested. The photos in the book support the text well.
