Happy Birthday, Martin Luther King
The significance and impact of Dr. King and why his birthday is celebrated is presented in a handsome package. Fluid text combines with stunning illustrations done in scratchboard and paint, to make a sometimes difficult subject accessible to younger children. Also available in Spanish.
Help Me Learn Subtraction
Simple rhymes combine with crisp, uncluttered photographs to ask (and answer visually as well as with numerals) simple questions that are answered with subtraction. Number sentences (e.g., 8 - 2=6) are also included for each as are clever asides or additional information on each double page spread.
I Spy: School
Newly independent readers will figure out the riddles (culled from other books in the "I Spy" series) and enjoy locating the objects. Words and photographs on one side of each double page spread provide clues for decoding as well as what to look for in the more intricate photographic scene on the opposing page.
Pretend You're a Cat
By: Jean Marzollo
Gently rhyming text and detailed watercolors invite young readers to pretend that they are different animals. Realistic portraits of children at play enhance and extend the simple poems.
