(4) K-3 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series. Illustrated by Edward Miller. A simple text identifies components of blood--red and white cells, plasma, platelets--and shows how blood circulates oxygen throughout the body. A list of fast facts and tips for maintaining a healthy heart are included. Some will be amused by Miller's images of Dracula and his Igor-like assistant, who help relay this information; others will find the device unnecessarily macabre. Reading list.
