All About People

Children's Literature - Beverly Rice

A simple, straightforward early reference, this book describes how we grow, how our bodies work and how we feel. All entries are organized in alphabetical order. For the reader who wants to know more about a subject on a page, a colored bar at the top provides easy cross-referencing with a list of other entries in the book or in the other three books of the series. All diagrams are brightly colored and simple, yet informative. Sprinkled throughout are photographs and simple drawings that expand upon or clarify the text entries. At the back of the book is a glossary defining the boldface words that appear throughout the text. One of four titles in the "Scholastic First Encyclopedia" series. Other volumes in the series include A First Atlas, Animals in Nature and How Things Work.
