(4) 4-6 Math Quest series. Illustrated by Tim Hutchinson. These Choose-Your-Own-Adventure-style books cover topics including numerical operations (Clues), geometry (Mazes), patterns (Mysteries), and data analysis (Puzzles). There is an abundance of text on every page, making the spreads appear unapproachable. However, the math problems and methods are clear, and the inviting spot illustrations reinforce the adventure theme. "Notes for Parents and Teachers" are appended. Glos. Review covers these Math Quest titles: The Cavern of Clues, The Mansion of Mazes, The Museum of Mysteries, and The Planet of Puzzles.

(3) K-3 Experiments in Science series. The very simple experiments in physics, growth, and composition of matter are child-friendly and focused, though they acknowledge the need for adult assistance. Each colorful double-page spread features a list of materials; an illustrated, numbered experiment; an explanation; and a photo of an example of the phenomenon. A parents' page precedes each section, and a simple quiz follows. Glos., ind. [Review covers these Experiments in Science titles: How Do Things Grow?, How Does It Work?, What Is It Made Of?.]
