Arlington I.S.D. Review of Plant Facts
Learning about plants is essential in the lower grades, so the plant information in this book provides lots of information— one fact at a time. It begins talking about plant-life with clear and simple explanations, moving to flowers, trees, grasses, underwater plants, and plants in other various environments.
I love the comparisons presented, like a large tree in Africa that weighs “the same as 15
African elephants”. Most of the information is cleverly presented in color text boxes.
This is a small book from Fact-o-graphics! series. Like all the other books in the series, it was composed with Shutterstock photos and pictures, so the colors are vibrant and very attractive. I can see how this book will be the favorite of all those future scientists. I am very curious about the other titles in the series.
SLJ Review of Fact-o-graphics!
Using colorful illustrations and inset photos, this series presents basic facts for early readers. A section on the five senses, for example, uses small photos of foods to highlight the five categories of taste. A general statement introduces each spread’s topic and text boxes provide additional information. Everything from seasons to microhabitats is shown, labeled, and explained. Readers learn that a baobab tree holds enough water for 650 baths or the Reykjavik has the longest day of any town on Earth. A table of contents and index make it easy to locate specific points of interest. Vocabulary words appear in bold print and are defined in the glossary. Each book also includes a section on extremes or record breakers, like the largest human feet or a tree that weighs as much as 15 African elephants. VERDICT: Chunked text and abundant visuals make this series accessible to early readers.
