Magic Readers series.
Illustrated by
Candice Keimig.
These books are formulaic but offer some interesting facts. Rather than providing the same information on dolphins and buffaloes in varying levels of complexity, the volumes in each pair introduce different concepts. The repetitive illustrations consist of photographs of the animals against watercolor backgrounds for a bizarre look. Level 1 volumes (Dolphins; Buffaloes) include some labels on the illustrations to highlight vocabulary words. Review covers these Magic Readers titles: Dolphins, Dolphins in the Ocean, Buffaloes, and Buffaloes Eat and Grow.
