(4) 4-6 Searchlight Books: What Can We Learn from Early Civilizations? series. This series explores daily life in ancient civilizations and how various concepts and tools they invented influenced modern times. "Tools" and "treasures" are fairly loosely defined, making the books wide-reaching but also somewhat of a hodgepodge of topics; connections to current civilization are tenuous. Informative sidebars and photographs of interesting artifacts and sites break up the text. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. This review covers these Searchlight Books: What Can We Learn from Early Civilizations? titles: Tools and Treasures of Ancient Egypt, Tools and Treasures of Ancient Greece, Tools and Treasures of Ancient Mesopotamia, Tools and Treasures of Ancient Rome, Tools and Treasures of the Ancient Maya, and Tools and Treasures of Ancient China.

(4) K-3 Can You Guess What I Am? series. Bright, close-up partial-view photographs of familiar animals are accompanied by a line of text offering clues to each creature's identity. A page turn reveals the entire animal, along with a few additional facts. The simplistic text is easy to read; appended activities strain to broaden the book's appeal.
