Editorials
School Library Journal
Gr 4–7—Both attractive volumes sport one topic per spread, fragmented texts consisting mainly of captions, color photos, and artwork that is almost 3-D in appearance. Glossaries and indexes and a final page pointing the way to further resources in books, films, websites, and museums appear in each title. Both books also contain a few quotes from scientists embedded in the heavily illustrated pages and a definition that drips down one outside margin of the spread and a website address down the other. An occasional slip occurs (shrimp do not live "deep in the mud"), but in the main, these are bits of eye candy that will gather a minimum of dust on library shelves.—Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NYBook Details
