Review by Horn Book Review

Designed for young readers, these books provide very basic but adequate introductions to three everyday consumer products. Each follows a natural resource (forests, iron ore, and petroleum) through a step-by-step process to a finished product. Simple statements are rather sketchy, often failing to provide enough information about complex operations. Large color photographs enhance the texts. Glos., ind. [Review covers these Start to Finish titles: From Tree to Paper, From Iron to Car, and From Oil to Gas.] (c) Copyright 2013. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
