Food Chains, Seasons, Water
“With a graceful simplicity that conveys respect for beginning readers, these books explain the transference of energy among living things through the food chain, the shifts in weather and growth of plants and animals through four seasons, and the process of how water becomes vapor and returns to the earth as rain or snow.”

Fire Safety
“More than the typically distant fire-engine drama, this small, square early reader in the Bookworms: Safe Kids series speaks directly to young kids about the danger to them in daily life....By showing a family running over a fire plan, this scary stuff is framed in a reassuring way. The final scene of a boy blowing out his birthday candles with his dad right there reiterates this message while not playing down the danger. The exciting scenarios are sure to hook early readers.”
