ReviewedAvocados are bumpy fruits used to make many delicious dishes. In this low-level title, leveled text and colorful photos help young readers learn about the avocado’s life cycle. A picture glossary provides support for unfamiliar terms, and special features highlight what avocados need to grow, show how avocados are used, and put the steps of the avocado’s life cycle in one place.
This See It Grow series focuses on different fruits and vegetables, explaining in very simple language how the plant grows and flourishes. A Blastoff Reader, the book uses text features effectively with diagrams, textboxes, and boldfaced words to help young readers understand the growth process. Vibrant photographs with close ups of the fruit or vegetable provide a perfect compliment to the basic text. Science teachers covering plant life or young readers learning to read independently will find this attractive series useful. Includes glossary, index, and supplementary material. THOUGHTS: The size of these books are just right for little hands. The pictures teach as much as the text, and the large print text is ideal for beginning readers. This series is a good selection for lessons on plant growth.
