(4) K-3 Illustrated by John Haslam. With a vintage-Disney feel in its brightly colored illustrations and jaunty font, this nonfiction book for young readers introduces transportation history with spreads dedicated to each mode, including bicycles, cars, trains, space travel, and more. The broad focus means each subject gets a cursory, rosy-hued treatment. Back matter includes a matching game and a quiz but no sources.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by John Haslam. Very basic information about the human body is introduced in double-page spreads. Beginning with the skin ("Skin stretches over your fingers...It mends cuts and scrapes"), moving through major organs, senses, and ending with life stages, the approachable, large-font text is accompanied by bright, humorous cartoon illustrations. A picture "summary" and word quizzes are appended; the jacket is a foldout poster.
