The Horn Book Guide
“Clear explanations, relatable examples, and effective visuals.” —The Horn Book Guide
Library Media Connection
“This series includes lots of facts and examples of the concept of work, presenting the facts from the simple to the more complex. Large colorful pictures give the reader examples of work that a child could relate to, and a list of everyday household items that are needed to perform each example is included. Small boxes containing short facts about the pictures will grab the attention of younger and reluctant readers. Intermediate students will be able to recreate the examples given in each book in order to extend their understanding.” —Library Media Connection
