Examining Bridge Collapses
These will be good additions where STEM topics need reinforcement and for collections that don't already own "Disaster Science" (Cherry Lake), which covers the same material.
Pink Is For Blobfish: Discovering the World's Perfectly Pink Animals
A popular addition for larger collections or those in need of materials on nontypical animals.
Carrots Like Peas: And Other Fun Facts
While the lack of photos may be off-putting to some, this title is a nice choice for younger readers.
An Arctic Tundra Food Chain
Purchase these for the wealth of information in the writing.
Illustrated with glossy, artistic photos, each slim volume features a continuous, sequential narrative of a food chain, beginning with a producer (plant) and moving through varied predators. For example, Prairie starts with bluestem grass and progresses through the differential grasshopper, prairie shrew, bull snake, and badger. Whole-page inserts about other species, such as the red-tailed hawk, somewhat interrupt the narrative flow. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Odysseys in Nature titles: A Desert Food Chain, A Mountain Food Chain, A Prairie Food Chain, A Rainforest Food Chain, An Arctic Tundra Food Chain, and An Ocean Food Chain.
Rat
Well written, with a clean design, these titles will be useful for educators and popular with potential pet owners.
Enormous Ears and Soft Brown Hair (Moose)
Solid options, especially for educators teaching index use.
Descriptions of the habitat and physical appearance of an unnamed baby mammal and a question--"Who does this little baby belong to?"--begin these books about moose, orangutans, and giant pandas. Straightforward text explains family, diet, and growth, while large, close-up photos (all clearly labeled but some with odd graphics added) lend immediacy. "Fact file" and habitat map appended. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers the following Whose Little Baby Are You? titles: Enormous Eats and Soft Brown Hair, Tiny Fingers and Fuzzy Orange Hair, and Tiny Paws and Big Black Eyes.
