This or That? Weather series.
Full-page photos and clear scientific explanations illustrate the differences between similar weather phenomena. For example, a blizzard is distinguished from a winter storm by its high winds; although both are composed of water droplets, a cloud forms in the air and fog forms near the ground. A summary of similarities and differences and a practical hands-on experiment are provided at the end of each book. Glos. Review covers the following This or That? Weather titles: Cloud or Fog?, Tidal Wave or Tsunami?, Winter Storm or Blizzard?, Hail or Freezing Rain?, Hurricane or Waterspout?, and Tornado or Dust Devil?

I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Phil Wilson.
It was not a good day for the dinosaurs when an asteroid hit Earth. It's a good one for emergent readers, however, who get to relish the gruesome--yet factually accurate and realistic--death and destruction. Tyrannosaurus is incinerated, for example, and others are felled by burning rocks. The color illustrations pull no punches in matching the heightened drama of the text.
