(4) K-3 Discovering Nature series. Illustrated by Tony Kenyon & Mike Atkinson. With craft projects, simple experiments, and science activities, All Year Round studies seasonal changes in nature, while Woods and Meadows looks at plants and animals found in these habitats. The information is generally accurate, and most of the projects are kid-friendly, though some will require adult assistance. Photos, illustrations, and large type fill each page, but a consistent design orders the busyness. Glos., ind.

(4) 4-6 Math for Fun series. Illustrated by Tony Kenyon. These books offer step-by-step instructions for hands-on activities, which vary in difficulty and are most suitable for upper-elementary students. Sizes contains a few misleading illustrations and suggests using old burned matches to simulate fences--perhaps not the best idea for unsupervised kids. However, both volumes are useful resources for teachers in search of simple projects to supplement their math curriculum. Glos., ind.

(3) 4-6 Oddball weather merchants provide the focus for these two light comedic fantasies, illustrated with pen-and-ink sketches. The occasional Briticism (e.g., pounds for dollars, football for soccer) won't prevent readers from enjoying the foibles of a wind salesman with an out-of-control typhoon in his barn and three siblings whose botched sun dance produces a seemingly irreversible eclipse.
