Review by Booklist Review
Reviewed with Sam Godwin's From Little Acorns0 . K-Gr. 1. Aimed at younger children than those who delight in the incomparable Magic School Bus series, these titles in the First Look--Science series offer very simplified versions of their subjects. A mother squirrel and her offspring follow an oak tree's growth; a mom and child waterbird consider the water cycle. These British imports use soothingly colored cartoon-style illustrations that add a lighthearted element. Each book includes a very brief bibliography and "Fun Facts" and "Useful Words," which are so abbreviated they will be of little use. A Web portal can be searched for sites keyed to the titles via a code number. --GraceAnne DeCandido Copyright 2004 Booklist
