Reviews

[Mrs. · Rating 5 out of 5]

I like this non-fiction book for my elementary students as a beginning book for reports. This book contains a table of contents and index which are key to using non-fiction. Clean pages with color photos and captions for each image in a colored box drawing students into the pages. Each chapter has a title in bold text on the page. Key words are bold face text with a definition in the glossary. The book also contains useful tips, fast facts and more books to read suggestions.
