Let's Explore the Pacific Northwest

From School Library Journal Gr 2-3-With the picturesque perfection of a chamber of commerce brochure, the land of purple mountain majesties is made accessible to report writers. This set covers the basics of geography, topography, major industries, and culture (including recipes) . The information is well organized and the writing is direct and simple. The use of large, bold fonts; captioned, high-resolution photos and reproductions; and a colorful layout makes for a high-impact, attractive presentation. "Pit Stop" text boxes include oddball facts, such as "The Great Basin is home to the oldest kind of tree still alive today-the bristlecone pine." Great intros to the American landscape. α(c) Copyright 2013. Library Journal. LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
