(4) K-3 Illustrated by Wesley Robins. "Shine a flashlight behind the page...to reveal what is hidden in and around each landscape. Discover a world of amazing surprises." This Shine-a-Light installment presents a very broad tour of "the wonders of our beautiful planet"--mountains, oceans, deserts, sunlight, etc. The information is confusing at times, but the guessing game ("Can you see the whole iceberg?") and shine-a-light hooks should engage viewers.

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Wesley Robins. Hold recto pages to the light to reveal animals hidden in each full-color picture; turn the page for a detailed black-and-white illustration of the camouflaged critter. The series' signature gimmick works well with this topic, though text on the back of each page also shows through. A variety of habitats are included, and a final spread revisits each with additional facts about the animal.
