COPY ISBN
Gr 1–3—An attention-grabbing phrase such as "get dressed!" or "it's party time!" begins each book, followed by brief chapters with unusual examples of the title subject from all parts of the world. Each spread is made up of three to four simple sentences and a labelled, full-page photo, most of which are well matched with the text. There are no maps, but locations are identified in the content. There are many sets about these topics and this selection is neither comprehensive nor focused exclusively on children, but it shows beginning readers how people around the world use what is available to them to acquire the necessities of life.
VERDICT Good first or replacement purchase.
