Reviews

School Library Journal, Series Made Simple

“Using very simple language and only a few sentences per page, these titles introduce common tools. Each book shows the parts of the subject (which are easy to identify in close-up photos) and explains how the item is used and by whom. All the volumes include a list of safety tips at the end.” —School Library Journal, Series Made Simple
