Reviews
These small volumes pair one short, declarative statement per page ('You see the first light from the sun at dawn') with color photos of outdoor scenes, city skylines, animals, or children. The concepts are clearly presented and certainly worthy of study, but an error of fact--a picture of fog incorrectly used in conjunction with a discussion of evaporation in Earth's Water Cycle--and such potentially confusing instances of oversimplification as a wakeful skunk in Hibernation and a statement in Seasons that 'near the middle of the Earth, it is warm all year, ' mar an otherwise useful and appealing series. --School Library Journal, Series Made Simple --Journal Using stock photographs and a simple text, this small, square book aims to explain Earth's rotation cycle to beginning readers. Information is very brief and basic, appropriate for first report writers. 'Day and night facts' and an illustrated diagram provide more information. --The Horn Book Guide --Journal
