(Super Structures). further reading. glossary. index. photos. websites. ABDO . Aug. 2018. lib. ed. $27.07. Gr 3-5 Dramatic, high-quality color photos highlight this fact-filled set on renowned international and U.S. structures. The photos emphasize perspective, making the enormous size of these marvels even more impressive. Short sentences contribute to easy, fast-paced reading; unfamiliar vocabulary appears in bold. Construction histories and materials are noted, as are design elements and functions. Unsurprisingly, numbers feature prominently in each title, as pertinent statistics relating to a structure (height, cost, quantity of materials used, number of floors, etc.) appear on most pages; some whopping figures may be challenging to understand. A concluding "More Facts" list in each volume provides extra interesting tidbits of information. VERDICT The conversational tone and broad range of structures and their locations make this set a fine introduction to these wonders. For report writers and browsers. The International Space Station and The World Trade Center have broadest appeal.
This title is all about the Burj Khalifa, which towers over Dubai at an amazing 2,722 feet. Readers will learn about the megatall skyscraper's construction, materials it was made from, and what it's used for. This title is written at a Level 3, specifically for transitional readers. Aligned to Common Core standards & correlated to state standards. Dash! is an imprint of Abdo Zoom, a division of ABDO.
