Grade 5-8-These two entries are eye-catching and filled with beautiful, clear, color photographs and reproductions. The photos in Earth's Place are particularly stunning. The chronological arrangement of each book, combined with fascinating facts and top-notch writing, propels readers forward through text that reads like a good story. The information is current and well researched. There is enough material for reports and enough interest to inspire more in-depth research. The colorful covers are bound to catch browsers' attention.Linda Wadleigh, Oconee County Middle School, Watkinsville, GA Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.
