Canoeing and Kayaking
A worthy purchase, especially if your collection is light on adventure.
In clear, engaging narratives that emphasize the dangers of adventure sports as well as the thrills, these books introduce training and equipment for each sport and discuss the challenges. The layouts can be unfocused, as text in various fonts and sizes vies with many photos, illustrations, fact sidebars, and quick "Thrill Seeker" bios. Still, adventurous kids will be inspired. Glos., ind. Review covers the following Adventure Sports titles: Canoeing and Kayaking, Caving, Hiking, Mountain Biking, Rock Climbing, and Skiing and Snowboarding.
Beauty Blitz
A serviceable choice.
This volume suggests ideas for sleepover-party food, from spiced popcorn to no-bake cookies. The book starts by addressing "What to eat" (nachos with TV? full sit-down meal?) and "Where to eat" (bedroom? dining room?). Eight easy-to-follow recipes encourage healthy eating (nachos notwithstanding). Helpful tips/advice accompany a lively mixture of illustrations and photos. Websites. Glos., ind.
Ponies
Horse lovers will find much to admire here.
Large print, fresh layouts, and inviting color photographs welcome
readers to these quick overviews of what horses do, covering
everything from carriage horses to Lipizzaners to pony clubs to
police horses. The brief declarative texts don't flow smoothly, but
simple word choices and selection of detail are well pitched for
early readers. There are three other spring 2015 titles in this
series. Glos., ind. Review covers the following My Favorite Horses
titles: Ponies, Show Horses, and Working
Horses.
