This book pairs attributes of athletes on the verso page ("an athlete exercises self-control and focus") with a color photo and brief elaboration on the recto of a child athlete exemplifying the characteristic. The text is mundane, but the attraction of the book is in the variety of sports shown and the diversity of the athletes.

This cheery collection of statements about the responsibilities of teachers uses color photos of children helping and teaching their friends and classmates to illustrate how good teachers teach. Throughout, the emphasis is on caring, sharing, and learning from one another. For beginning students, it's more about what to expect in class than a future career guide.

In an attempt to provide positive and unexaggerated descriptions of the practice of science, Lehn presents a list of statements, such as "a scientist notices details" and "a scientist has fun," accompanied by inviting photographs of children engaged in specific examples of these activities. The image of science presented here is right in line with national guidelines for activity-based science curricula.
