PreS-Gr 2--A series designed to be read aloud to younger children or alone by beginning readers. Each title records the life cycle of a specific insect/mollusk. Mating is mentioned, but specifics are not provided. Death never enters the scene. The realistic illustrations are large, colorful, and framed with clear borders in colors that match the main tones of the covers. Visually appealing, the books have accurate (if very elementary) texts that may satisfy some childrens' immediate informational needs and raise a storm of question from others. Although each title has a brief assortment of facts for adults and a glossary of terms italicized in the text, these sections will prove inadequate if more detail is demanded. While ladybugs are often featured in juvenile nonfiction, luna moths are not, and slugs, alas, being somewhat unlovely, give ground to coverage of their "cuter" cousins, the snails. Nicely done, if simplistic.Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NYCopyright 1998 Cahners Business Information, Inc.; Title: A Ladybug's Life (Nature Upclose)

Grade 4-8-Expanded information throughout this book results in a vast improvement over the 1989 edition by David K. Wright. Willis presents material in an organized fashion, featuring the large cities and giving an overview of the nation's past that still impacts the Vietnamese people as they strive toward the future. "Great Diversity" reveals the broad variety of plants and animals to be found. The chapter "Arts and Culture of Vietnam" is much more in-depth than the original. Full-color photographs and reproductions throughout depict a wide array of landscapes, from peaceful green rice paddies along a calm coastline to a deserted military airstrip, complete with a tinge of eerie orange. General readers and researchers alike will find this updated title to be rich in information and appealing in format.Alida F.

Gr 7-10-In the opening chapter, Kummer vividly describes a music festival promoting pride in Ukrainian language and culture that took place just a few days before the new nation's declaration of independence. The following chapters are given over to geography, history, and the like. They are clearly written and have the details needed for reports, but many of the sidebars set off within the chapters are more engaging. They cover special topics such as space pioneers from Ukraine, a "deadly" soccer game during World War II, and descriptions of historically significant monuments. In addition, the author addresses the Russian and Tatar ethnic minorities. Excellent-quality, full-color photos and reproductions enhance the presentation. Throughout the book, names of cities and regions in Ukraine are correctly given in transliterations from Ukrainian spellings, but in some cases may be distracting to readers who are not familiar with names such as Krym for Crimea, especially in a reference to Krymian hills before the author has explained the term. While it is true that the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church was suppressed, the assertion made twice that "the Russian Orthodox Church was the only religion allowed in the Soviet Union" is simply false. Likewise, although the Ukrainian peasants may have borne the brunt of Stalin's collectivization policies, students unfamiliar with Soviet history might think that the Ukrainians were singled out, whereas peasants of other ethnic groups endured the same brutalities. Still, Kummer's book is superior to both Volodymyr Bassis's Ukraine (Benchmark, 1997) and Steven Otfinoski's Ukraine (Facts On File, 1999).Elizabeth Talbot, University of Illinois, ChampaignCopyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.Patricia K Kummer is the author of several nonfiction books for children.; Title: Ukraine (Enchantment of the World Second Series)

Grade 1-2-Straightforward but lifeless presentations for beginning readers. These small-format overviews of different aspects of Colonial life present full-page, average-quality photographs opposite large-print, simple texts. One to three sentences offer a statement and/or explanation, such as "Some people were cobblers. Cobblers made shoes from leather." Finally, each book summarizes the preceding pages with a one-line statement opposite a photo collage of some of the previous pictures of modern-day enactment scenes. Each title concludes with a glossary listing no more than nine words, a guide to books and Web sites, and a short index. While children may learn some facts about the period, there are many better titles that will inspire and encourage reading.Tina Hudak, St. Bernard's School, Riverdale, MD Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.; Title: Clothes in Colonial America (Welcome Books: Colonial America (Paperback))

Kindergarten-Grade 3-Exuberant color photographs reflect the nature of the Hindu celebration that commemorates the triumph of good over evil and the beginning of spring. Here, the mythic root of the holiday and the contemporary ways of celebrating it are explained in terms simple enough for young listeners and readers, Hindu and non-Hindu alike. Several photos show the vibrant colors of the gulal with which celebrants powder one another, and their joyful participation in being dusted-or soaked in colored water-is apparent. The Hindu population of the U.S. continues to grow, and this brief title is a welcome choice as it serves both to broaden existing holiday collections and to introduce this religion to young America readers.Coop Renner, Blackshear Elementary School, Austin, TXCopyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.Reviewed with Mary Dodson Wade's Cinco de Mayo.K-Gr. 2. These titles in the ongoing Rookie Read-About Holidays series introduce two holidays in a format designed for beginning readers. Both books combine crisp color photographs with a few sentences per page, printed in large type set against bright white backgrounds. Holi briefly retells the Hindu holiday's story before describing the raucous, colorful ways that the day--a "holiday when everyone can be a kid!"--is celebrated. Cinco de Mayo is equally succinct. It outlines the events that led up to the Battle of Puebla in remarkably simple terms, and then shows various aspects of contemporary festivities, including a mariachi band, dancers, parades, and so on. Presenting only the basics, the books will leave many children with questions, including the location of Mexico and India (no maps are included). But these holidays are often overlooked in books for youth, especially for this age group, and the pictures and words combine to offer bright, serviceable introductions. A vocabulary review closes each book. Gillian EngbergCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved; Title: Holi (Rookie Read-About Holidays)

Grade 3-6 - These books cover life in the title colony from the time of European settlement to the aftermath of the Revolutionary War. Following a chronological structure, each one discusses the major events, personages, and development in the colony and does a remarkable job of balancing major happenings with details about the daily lives of the residents. Information about the Native tribes in each area and the way their lives were irrevocably changed by the coming of the European settlers is also included. Full-color and black-and-white archival reproductions, maps, and newspaper clippings from the time add authenticity and interest, and highlight boxes offer anecdotes, curiosities, and explanations of regional idioms. Back matter includes a recipe, a craft activity or game, and a highly visual time line. Though it's unlikely that kids will pick them up for anything other than reports, they will be surprised at how interesting these books are. - Kathleen Kelly MacMillan, Maryland School for the Deaf, Columbia Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Reviewed with JoAnn Milivojevic's Bosnia and Herzegovina.Gr. 4-6. Finely attuned to any number of conventional "country" assignment, these entries in the second Enchantment of the World series offer lucid commentary, digestible quantities of facts and statistics, eye-catching color photos, and eminently useful back matter. Both are similarly structured, with topical chapters presented in the same order, sandwiched between a tantalizing overview, and upbeat but not idealized closing insights into patterns of daily life in their respective lands. Thoughtful readers will be struck by the contrast between the authors' sometimes hard-hitting accounts of the devastating wars that have swept through each country and the brighter impressions conveyed in the photos (even scenes of land-mine removal in Bosnia and Herzegovina and unsmiling but well-kept refugees walking through verdant Congo landscapes have, at first glance, an idyllic air), but for collections that still own books with the words Yugoslavia or Zaire in their titles, these make essential, first-choice replacements.

The layout is appealing and the text is complemented by sidebars and large color photographs. Maps are included, but several have no captions, so students might find them confusing. The chart of state government is especially helpful. A concluding almanac lists the state bird, flag, animal, and flower, and useful statistics.

Grade 4-8-Intended to supersede the earlier series entry with the same name by R. Conrad Stein (Children's, 1987), this is a slick, well-formatted book, with clear, up-to-date illustrations and information. In line with recent trends in children's nonfiction, the text has been cut at least in half and printed in a larger font than before, and this edition has simpler maps and a shorter time line. The streamlining results in easily accessible facts, highlighted sidebars, a personalized introduction that immediately draws readers in, and a time line of important Greek dates shown side-by-side with one showing world events. This book is definitely a high-quality effort and offers current material, but one cannot help but feel wistful about the earlier erudite offering, complete with many quotes and more text.Judith Constantinides, formerly at East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library, LACopyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.Anne Heinrichs is the author of several nonfiction books for children.; Title: Greece (Enchantment of the World Second Series)

Grade 4-7-A series aimed at reluctant readers. In both books, each chapter begins with a short accounting of an attack on a human. This certainly engages readers' attention, but one has to wonder about the messages being conveyed. Croc, the better of the two, is illustrated with full-color photos of the reptiles in their natural setting. In Dog, any homeless or abandoned canine is defined as wild. The author then goes on to talk about attacks by people's pets and hypothesizes that these creatures were allowed to wander by their owner. She seems to be presenting her own personal agenda that certain dogs are violent, vicious animals and cannot be trusted in any situation. This title could be scary and very upsetting to children, who would likely get the impression that all canines are dangerous and will attack them even if unprovoked. This message is reinforced by the large, full-color photos that show snarling and attacking dogs and victims' scars. Croc presents some interesting facts and should find an audience; Dogs is less successful.Sheilah Kosco, Rapides Parish Library, Alexandria, LA Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.Patrick J Fitzgerald is the author of several nonfiction books for children.; Title: Croc and Gator Attacks (Animal Attack)

"...rich with captioned photographs...introduces the creatures of the sea with clear, graceful writing." -- National Science Teachers Association website - May 18,2006Did you know that octopuses are thought to be the most intelligent invertebrates? You can stare at an octopus and it may stare back at you--something you can't do with any other invertebrate. You probably wouldn't give a clam a name. It's an animal that really doesn't have much personality! But octopuses, fellow mollusks, have been given names by their keepers in aquariums because they do sometimes seem to possess distinct personalities. Octopuses can also morph into almost any shape and change their color to match practically any background. They really are the superheroes of the undersea world!; Title: Octopuses and Squids (Undersea Encounters)
