(4) K-3 Pet Care series. REVIEW MISSING

Reviewer: Miriam Steinberg-Egeth

(4) K-3 Pet Care series. This well-designed kindergarten-level series introduces four common dog breeds with friendly texts and lots of attractive, glossy photos. The information is very elementary, but the books are successful introductions to nonfiction for emerging readers. A concluding spread features an anatomically labeled photo of the dog and a couple of close-ups of specific features. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Seedlings titles: Retrievers, Terriers, Beagles, and Bulldogs.

(3) K-3 Naturebooks series. The gross-out factor will no doubt make these popular with young readers looking for mildly shocking research topics. These well-organized books contain solid introductory information about topics such as appearance, different species, reproduction, and food. The close-up photographs make many of the subjects look appropriately monstrous. Glos., ind.
