(3) K-3 True Book series. These simply written texts provide solid, up-to-date information about current knowledge of the outer planets, acquired mostly from space probes. The captioned color photos are generally well chosen, and the odd nature of the interiors of the gas giants is well described for the intended audience. Lists of organizations and online sites for more information are provided. Bib., glos., ind.

(4) K-3 True Book series. The history and geography of these countries is relayed in plenty of photos and brief, easy-to-read texts, which include some sophisticated concepts and little about child life. Some present-day information is included but is limited mostly to popular sports, although Ireland makes reference to music. January describes "the Troubles" in appropriate terms for the intended audience. Bib., glos., ind.

(4) K-3 True Book series. Suitable for report writing, these two volumes include solid information on history, geography, economics, and some aspects of cultural life. Though there's little about children's life in these countries, the large typeface, simple sentences, photographs, useful captions, and clear maps make these books appropriate for the early grades. Each book includes a list of relevant websites. Bib., glos., ind.

(3) K-3 True Book series. An informative text is coupled with crisp photographs of a country rarely treated in books for children. History, geography, and economics are the strong points here, but religion and some cultural aspects of life are also highlighted. A sense of the mixture of the traditional and the modern aspects of contemporary life in this religious Islamic country is conveyed; the position of women and girls isn't really described. Bib., glos., ind.

(4) K-3 True Book series. The large print and simple sentence structure will draw reluctant or beginning readers to these volumes, each containing a basic overview of a different dinosaur. Information about the dinosaur's appearance, habitat, and habits are related in the sometimes flat texts, illustrated with photos of dinosaur fossils and reconstructions, as well as mediocre artwork. Lists of organizations and online resources are included. Bib., glos., ind.
