(4) 4-6 Explorer Travel Guides series. The premise here is that middle-grade readers are embarking on exploratory excursions. Each book introduces the landform and its ecosystems and touches on trip planning, equipment, and preparation. Brief interviews with scientists or explorers are engaging. The approachable design includes photographs (some captioned, others not), text boxes, and accessible texts. The treatment is superficial but engaging. Map, reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Explorer Travel Guides titles: Caves, Deserts, and Mountains.
