(4) K-3 Measuring Time series. Abstract time concepts (how long is a particular unit? how does it relate to other units?) are briefly introduced. The concrete examples in Seconds and Hours ("It takes about 1 second to sneeze"; "The movie lasts two hours") are more helpful than some of those found in Weeks and Years. Stock photos feature children, calendar pages, clocks, and stopwatches. Review covers these Measuring Time titles: How Many Hours?, How Many Seconds?, How Many Weeks?, and How Many Years?

(4) 4-6 Story of the United States series. This series focusing on pivotal periods in U.S. history is generally well organized, and the writing, though clunky, is accessible. Frequent photos, diagrams, and sidebars enhance the texts; writing prompts, primary source quotes, and "Stop and Think" questions contribute to the volumes' usefulness. Coverage of certain events is uneven (e.g., 1960s anti-war protests are glossed over). Reading list, timeline. Glos., ind. Review covers these Story of the United States titles: World War I and Modern America, The Postwar Era, The United States Today, and The Rise of Industry.
