Dog Breeds series.
These slim volumes provide basic facts about retrievers and German shepherds, including their life cycle, the care they need, and the kinds of work they can do. Each book also includes an activity about dogs for readers to try. Attractive photographs show the variety of dogs, but the texts are somewhat choppy and occasionally repetitive. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. [Review covers these Dog Breeds titles: German Shepherds and Retrievers.]

Natural Disasters series.
Four high-interest topics are covered in easy-to-read texts aimed at the reluctant reader. After a brief introduction to the subject, each book in this series provides scientific background, descriptions of actual events, and information on forecasting and safety practices. The wind chill chart included in Blizzards predates the revised 2001 standard. Bib., glos., ind. [Review covers these Natural Disasters titles: Blizzards, Floods, Tsunamis, Forest Fires.]
