Loving

From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 1-- Heyman uses his camera to record scenes of families engaged in everyday activities, producing a spontaneous, vibrant look at people the world around. The intimacy between parents and their children in Loving is particularly moving, offering an exceptional interpretation of the title. The coverage is so universal that children will easily identify with at least one of the situations shown. The majority of the photographs were taken in the U. S., providing a unique opportunity for discussion about the diversities to be found here. On the Go is equally comprehensive and intriguing in its treatment of how people move themselves around--from rickshaws to camels. The photographs are splendidly displayed, one to a page, and are accompanied by a brief, provocative text. Indexes in both books repeat each of those pictures in miniature, naming the country in which it was taken. The final pages contain a pen-and-ink drawing of a world map. Both books are to be treasured and savored for their usefulness in group discussions. Early educators will want to purchase them for their classrooms, for they will never stay on library shelves. --Mary Lou Budd, Milford South Elementary School, OHCopyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.
