K-3Bumba Books: Places We Go series.
With cheerful graphics, bright photographs featuring kids of different ethnicities, bare-bones text, and sturdy construction, this series brings early elementary students on typical field trips. Depicting experiences as universal, the volumes risk overgeneralizing, but question bubbles ("What other mammals might you see at the zoo?") 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: A Visit to the Nature Center and A Visit to the Zoo.
