Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6-Each of these books begins with a terrifying scenario that places youngsters in a deadly situation with seemingly little hope of survival. Aimed at challenged readers, the texts are replete with photographs, reproductions, and sidebars that tend to confuse rather than clarify the subjects. Pictures showing the layers of the earth and tectonic plates are repeated in Earth and Ground, but aspects of the graphics are unclear. Both titles discuss the 2004 tsunami but they cite different casualty figures. Often subjects discussed on a page bear no relationship to one another and illustrations are not always pertinent to the texts. A section in Crumbling Earth highlights man-made problems leading to soil erosion and landslides but suffers from haphazard organization. Sandra Downs's Shaping the Earth (21st Century Bks, 2000) is a better choice, and it does not expose children to needless fear, anxiety, and sensationalizing. Both books were published previously with the same titles for a slightly higher reading level.-Eva Elisabeth VonAncken, Trinity-Pawling School, Pawling, NY
