K-Gr 2-These confusing, oversimplified early chapter books have weak rhyming texts: "Morning ends at twelve o'clock./It's time to eat our lunch./Peanut butter sandwiches/are really good to munch" (Day). Additional explanations will be needed, and some information is excluded. For example, in Months, children are informed that "Four months last for 30 days./Most months last for 31," with no mention of February. The "Words to Know" section (omitted from Hour) and index in each title include words that seem somewhat random. Despite bright, full-page photos, these books have limited appeal.-Amanda Moss, Maywood Elementary School, Monona, WI Copyright 2008 Reed Business Information.
