Gr 1–4—Through the eyes of a child who shares observations of animal life in ongoing journal entries, Lawrence keeps readers thoroughly engaged as they process a generous amount of information pertaining to the natural world. Colorful photos with clearly labeled focal points, interactive dialogue, and fascinating facts neatly captioned are also part of the effective methodology used to acquaint students with every aspect of scientific inquiry. Each installment includes an activity that can be documented using vocabulary from an illustrated glossary found on the next page. Memorable photos and a thoughtful narrative are perfectly organized to maximize comprehension in these outstanding titles.—Kathryn Diman, Bass Harbor Memorial Library, Bernard, ME
