Reviews

[Carolyn Jeziorski · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’ve been including a nonfiction title in my daily read alouds. This series is good, because you can stick to the text, then include some info from the additional sidebars that gives more detail.

Find out how beans grow, what a bean pod is, and how insects help bean plants grow.
