(4) K-3 Fast Forward series. Illustrated by Peter Dennis. In a bookish answer to hypertext, the volumes in this series feature twelve double-page spreads, each accessible by a thumb index, that sequence events in Pompeii, Italy, before and after the 79 C.E. eruption of Vesuvius and in Castle, atop a European hill, where a succession of castles was built. Somewhat static but well-labeled illustrations add considerable detail to the brief text, which moves from prehistory to the present. Glos., ind. [Review covers these Fast Forward titles: Castle and Volcano.]
Reviewer: Frieda F. Bostian
