Teacher’s Choice Award for Children’s Books
Learning Magazine, 2004
Green Generation: Alternative Energy
“This series presents lively, current introductions to environmental topics, while taking an unabashedly pro-green stance and stating environmental problems as the responsibility of each person to help solve. Each title uses a conversational style to convey information to students alongside photographs, charts, and sidebars for further information. Alternative Energy introduces five forms of non-fossil-fuel energy...Describing each concept as it is presented, this series entry makes a good introductory resource to the topic."
VOYA, April 2010
Electricity and Magnetism
“Widely spaced lines of text and bright color photos combine to give this entry in the Real World Science series visual appeal for younger and reluctant readers alike...Rau describes in clear, simple terms how static and current eelctricity behave and are used."
Booklist, 2009
Our Solar System series “…Earning high marks for visual appeal, and for clear, specific presentation of material, these offerings make worthy additions or updates for most collections.”
School Library Journal,
August 2005
“Presenting specific information in simple language and large, bright photos or art, these outstanding starter volumes provide sturdy bases upon which to build a lifelong interest in matters extraterrestrial. … Free of hyperbole and vague generalizations, these titles belong on any buddy astronomer’s reading list, between Joanna Cole’s The Magic School Bus Lost in the Solar System (Scholastic) and Seymour Simon’s titles on the individual planets (Morrow). .”
School Library Journal,
August 2002
Earth
“… This is an excellent book for young children and new readers and researchers to learn about their planet and its place in the solar system.”
Lillian Brightly, Mendham Borough Library; Mendham Borough, NJ,

Ronald F. Smith , Science Books & Films, April 2003
Moon

Pluto
“This is a most interesting and well-written book on Pluto. … This can be used for reference or pleasure reading. This is a good choice for youngsters reading their first planet books and hopefully they’ll go on to read in greater depth. Consider seriously its purchase….”
Mary Allhee, Gibbsboro School Library;
Gibbsboro, NJ,
June 2003
Saturn
“I knew I was going to like this book when, after explaining about Saturn’s fast rotations compared to Earth, the author states that as an effect of that Saturn didn’t look round it looked “slightly mushed”. The rest of the book is just as readable and clear for students beginning to learn about the planets either from personal interest or for reports…”
Lori Boyd, Redwood Elementary; West Orange , NJ,
October 2002
The Oregon Trail
“…the book gives a personalized version of this historical movement and the cultural and political elements of the time are firmly in the background. This book will supplement school units and inject some reality into the curriculum….”
