Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 2-These series entries present information in simple, direct language. Pyramids describes how the ancient pyramids of Egypt were built and touches on mummification, the seven wonders of the ancient world, and the heights of some famous buildings. All About Time tries to cover a great deal, jumping from different types of clocks and watches to the idea of how much a person can accomplish in varying time allotments to the concept of time zones. It then moves into the phases of the moon, the seasons, and the months of the year, concluding with an illustration of a family tree that features small picture frames where readers can paste in their own photos. Both books' strong point is their glossy, colorful, acetate-overlay illustrations.?Lisa Marie Gangemi, Sousa Elementary School, Port Washington, NY
