K-3Kingfisher Readers series.
Offering limited information about their subjects, which is suitable for the reading levels noted, these slim books feature lots of colorful photos and somewhat halting texts that closely match the photos. Rainforest uses a double-spread format with headings; Colors has continuous text that's more like captions for the photos. Rainforest doesn't distinguish between tropical and temperate rainforests. Glos. Review covers these Kingfisher Readers titles: Animal Colors and In the Rainforest.
