COPY ISBN
Gr 1—3—Animal Rescue addresses how and why animals become endangered and what can be done. Pollution discusses activities that are harming the planet and how individuals can prevent or minimize their effects. Waste suggests how discarded items can be reduced, reused, and recycled. All of the books feature large, full-color photos with one or two paragraphs of large-print text per page. "Find Out More" boxes scattered throughout give additional facts with related websites and "You Choose" boxes ask students questions regarding important choices they can make to alleviate these situations. These well-designed books will be useful for reports and general interest.—Caroline Geck, Newark Public Schools, NJ
Brief paragraphs give basic explanations of some environmental issues: pollution, climate change, refuse disposal, and endangered wildlife. Also included are various sidebars ("You Choose," "What Can Be Done?") that ask oversimplified opinion questions or offer vague answers. Photos showing the problems (overfull garbage dumps) and some solutions (recycled-material handbags) fill much of the space. Websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Helping Our Planet titles: Animal Rescue, Pollution, Waste and Recycling, and Weather.
