Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 1-4-These are the books to answer students' "I Wonder.?" questions. Each chapter begins with a query, such as "What's the Deadliest Creature on Earth?" (World), "Where Do People Live Longest?" (People), and "How Did People Keep Clean?" (Machines). The answers are given in short, information-packed paragraphs, with related questions and answers and bits of information in sidebars. The color drawings provide additional details. There are several acetate overlays in each volume, and those in Machines provide cutaway details.-Christine Markley, Washington Elementary School, Barto, PA (c) Copyright 2010.
