See More Readers: Danger! Earthquakes -Level 2 (Paperback)

~ Seymour Simon (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

With brief, accessible text, engaging topics and a perforated page of collectible cards Seymour Simon's See More Reader series will rope in even the most reluctant readers. According to Danger! Earthquake, "most of the world's earthquakes happen in a zone called the Pacific Ring of Fire." A map of the world highlights the hot spots. Bulldozers, dump trucks and offshore oil rigs get their due in Giant Machines. Additional offerings include Wild Bears; Killer Whales; and Planets Around the Sun. (Apr.)

From School Library Journal

Grade 1-3-These easy-readers are dominated by large, colorful photographs. Many of those in Danger! appeared in Simon's Earthquakes (Morrow, 1991) and some are poorly reproduced, often grainy. A few lines of generally clear and informative text accompany the illustrations on each page. The numerous examples in the first book tend to focus on earthquakes that scored highest on the Richter scale. Giant Machines uses simple language and easy-to-understand comparisons to explain the size and capacity of these mechanical marvels. The illustrations are crisp and clear and will grab readers' attention; one features a giant dump truck with tires twice as tall as a person and another shows a huge tractor that looks like a futuristic bug. Both volumes include tear-out "collector's cards" that families might enjoy but will soon disappear from library copies.
