"These titles offer new readers short sentences every other page against full-page colorful photos. The text is large and easy to read in black and circled by white, so the picture doesn't obscure the words. Each title takes readers to different places and shows who and what can be found there. Most are self-explanatory, such as Rural Places showing readers what can be found on a farm, while Communities Then and Now shows what is currently in a location and describes via text what was there in the past. While every title is short, each allows students to practice reading. The final pages include an activity of 'Did you see it?' and an index. VERDICT Great for beginning readers who like nonfiction topics."--School Library Journal.
