There's a reason bats are associated with Halloween - they look pretty spooky! But these gentle, shy creatures don't hurt people. In fact, they help us in many ways - by eating insects, pollinating flowers, and spreading fruit seeds. The well-organized chapters help students identify key details. The illustrations and text features such as captions and bold print help students navigate the text while the photographs add clarity and enable students to better understand the text.
These simple but comprehensive books introduce scientific principles in a way that is easy for children to understand and enjoy, even if they've never heard them before. The small format books contain one or two sentences a page, with large, bold font. The series covers animals, landforms, ecosystems, plants, weather, space, and so much more. Bright and colorful photographs are packed into the books, illustrating the detailed but easy-to-read text.
The text in the books doesn't always flow together, rather random facts and information is given about each topic. There are illustrated vocabulary reviews in the back, along with an index. The simple concepts, short texts, pleasing layout, and magnificent photographs will appeal to young readers and teach them basic scientific facts in a fun and easy way.
