Reviews
The timely topic of diseases, ranging from COVID-19 to malaria to the bubonic plague, is presented in this new series. Titles focus on the history, symptoms, and prevention of these very deadly illnesses from past and present. The text, written at a first grade reading level, uses a controlled vocabulary, and each book features four brief, readable chapters with one to two sentences per page. Engaging layouts feature photographs, primary source images, and microscopic views of disease causing germs, along with eye-catching graphics. Short prompts asks readers to identify which symptoms match which diseases, and suggestions for further exploration are provided. While this series only provides a broad overview, it does offer a solid introduction to a complicated and highly scientific topic in an approachable way for striving readers. VERDICT With increased curiosity around diseases and pandemics, this -hi-lo series is a recommended purchase for upper elementary collections. --School Library Journal -- (11/1/2021 12:00:00 AM)
