From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6-- Two introductions to timely topics. Readers are drawn into each volume by brief stories of children discovering the effects of pollution. Snodgrass then discusses the importance of Air and Water , the types of pollution, ways to clean them up, and concludes with individual actions that can be taken to prevent further problems. Excellent black-and-white diagrams are well labeled and easy to understand; the mediocre full-color and black-and-white photographs are not as clear and add little. Many topics of current interest are included, such as acid rain, ozone depletion, and the greenhouse effect. Students seeking information on pollution and related environmental concerns will make good use of these overviews. However, they are not indexed. --Janet K. Dawson, Museum of Science, Boston
