Full Text Reviews: School Library Journal - 04/01/2018 Gr 2–5—The focus of this series is the life cycle of vertebrates and insects. Each title opens with a physical description of the creatures being discussed, followed by a description of the habitat where many live. Reproduction and the various stages of life are covered, with a focus on a few particular species. In each book, straightforward text (with a few key word, in bold) sits opposite an eye-catching stock photograph. The text-filled pages also have leaf-shaped fact boxes, "Make the Grade," which contain notable tidbits of information despite the unfortunate heading. VERDICT A solid introduction to life cycles for elementary students. - Copyright 2018 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission. Loading...
