(3) K-3 Kurtz gives five criteria for living things, with examples and exceptions shown for each. He concludes that science doesn't offer a "perfect" way to differentiate between living and nonliving things, but when something displays all those five characteristics, it's probably living. Impressive photos, simple text, and activity pages make this an appealing tool for introducing a complex concept. Also available in Spanish. Glos.
