K-3Bumba Books: Places We Go series.
With cheerful graphics, bright photos featuring kids of different ethnicities, and bare-bones text, this series brings early elementary students on typical field trips. Depicting experiences as universal, the volumes risk overgeneralizing (not all libraries have 3D printers), but question bubbles ("Why do you think museums have fossils?") help young readers think more about the topics. Each book includes a table of contents and picture glossary. Reading list. Ind. Review covers these Bumba Books: Places We Go titles: [cf21]A Visit to the Library and A Visit to the Museum.
