(4) K-3 Early Bird Nature Books series. Photographs by Jerome Wexler. Focusing on the ubiquitous weed, this book offers introductory information on its growth, parts, and manner of reproduction. The choppy text, with widely spaced lines and large print, is geared toward newly independent readers. The volume is illustrated with captioned and clearly labeled full-color photos (which are somewhat repetitive) and drawings and includes a note to adults. Glos., ind.

(4) K-3 Early Bird Nature Books series. Photographs by Jerome Wexler. With simple texts and plenty of large (though somewhat repetitious) color photos, these introductory volumes supply young readers with basic facts about these plants. A "word detective" feature encourages children to find and define relevant terms used in the text, and a section for adults provides questions for discussion and run-of-the-mill activity suggestions.
