World Around Us series.
This series uses a question-and-answer approach to provide information for pre-readers. Questions a young child might ask (e.g., "How deep is an ocean?") guide each text. Most of the answers are too brief and simple to satisfy a curious preschooler, but the books do offer a good starting point for shared reading. Colorful photos provide added interest. Glos., ind. Review covers these World Around Us titles: What Is a Forest?, What Is a River?, What Is an Ocean?, and What Is the Sky?.

My First series.
These books, which employ crisp photos set against candy-colored backdrops, document familiar firsts: the first day of school, a new sibling, and a dental exam. Vacation describes some travel basics, however, this book seems more diffuse as the text and photos don't feature one child but a variety of travelers. The dutiful, somewhat rote text includes observations presented in dialogue balloons. Glos., ind. Review covers these My First titles: First Brother or Sister, First Day at School, First Vacation, and First Visit to the Dentist.
