(4) K-3 Start to Finish, Second Series: Everyday Products series. Designed for young readers, these books provide very basic but adequate introductions to three everyday consumer products. Each follows a natural resource (forests, iron ore, and petroleum) through a step-by-step process to a finished product. Simple statements are rather sketchy, often failing to provide enough information about complex operations. Large color photographs enhance the texts. Glos., ind. Review covers these Start to Finish titles: From Tree to Paper, From Iron to Car, and From Oil to Gas.

(4) K-3 Start to Finish series. Large photographs and brief texts characterize these books designed for beginning readers. The simplistic style fails to yield much depth, and some topics are more complex than can be adequately explained in the format. Overall, each book offers the most basic information about production of an everyday object or structure. Glos., ind. Review covers these Start to Finish titles: From Idea to Book, From Cloth to American Flag, From Cement to Bridge, From Metal to Airplane, From Tree to House, and From Rock to Road.
