What’s New Wednesday
Spring is here and that means that students will be investigating animals for class reports. The library has just received several new titles from Bridgestone Books (a Capstone Press division).
I took home Owls: Flat Faced Flyers and Crocodiles to read. The photos alone will engage anyone interested in animals. It is as if you are there with the animal.
In Owls: Flat Faced Flyers, labels are used on some the photos. The text is large and the information manageable for the young researcher.
The same can be said about the book on crocodiles. Both books, as well as the other books in the series, concentrate on life cycles, what they eat, their habitats. The books are set up well with table of contents, an index, and a section on “Amazing Facts”. In addition there is a glossary, age appropriate Internet sites for further investigation, and a small bibliography.
Our young aspiring biologists will not be overwhelmed when using this series for research.
Happy Reading.

I love Capstone/Bridgestone books for research. They are great for teaching notetaking and teaching kids to read for the facts. How fun to see this series highlighted in your blog!
