Making Graphs series.
Large photos, simple text, and clear diagrams make for solid--if not particularly innovative--introductions to bar graphs and pictographs. Both books use multiple examples and kid-friendly data (toy animals, hair color, party supplies) to explain how to create and interpret graphs. A final activity encourages readers to try out what they've learned by making their own graphs. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these Making Graphs titles: Bar Graphs and Pictographs.

Pebble Plus: Plant Parts series.
On each double-page spread, a very brief and limited text (one or two sentences) on a pastel-colored background faces a colorful photograph. The books provide general information, some of which may be misleading or frustrating: e.g., a photo of blooming tulips on tall green stems accompanies "Tulip bulbs are underground stems. In spring, leaves grow up and tulips bloom." Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these Pebble Plus: Plant Parts titles: Seeds and Stems.
