K-3
A+ Step by Step Stories series.
Using plenty of staged photographs of an African American dad and his son, this book demonstrates how to carve a pumpkin, including tips on choosing a good one and using the right tools. Meant to encourage early literacy skills, the text features short captions closely paired with the photos, chapter headings, and a sequencing "quiz" at book’s end. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.

A+ Step by Step Stories series.
After explaining the meaning of the "Chasing Arrows" recycling symbol, Lundquist looks at each step in the process of recycling a plastic bottle, a can, a glass jar, and a cardboard box. The large-size pages feature engaging photos and brief, informative caption-like text. The book concludes with a brief mention of why recycling is important. The treatment is basic but thorough. Reading list. Glos., ind.

Step-by-Step series.
After some history about each craft and sections about materials and/or techniques, these books feature between eight and ten fairly involved projects of varying levels of difficulty. All but Papermaking include patterns to be photocopied. The instructions and photos are clear, but the finished projects look as if they were professionally crafted. Bib., glos., ind.

Step-by-Step Geography series.
From subsistence farms to nuclear power plants, this book aims to introduce readers to agricultural and manufacturing technologies that produce the products we consume. Such breadth ensures that topics are not covered in much depth. Unremarkable color illustrations and photographs accompany the brief text. Glos., ind.
