A fine resource for libraries looking to expand their collections of biology-based books. The authors offer interesting science facts paired with educational lesson plans and activities that can be used inside and outside the classroom. Well organized with clearly defined sections and appropriate grade levels, the text provides an ideal opportunity for collaboration between librarians and classroom teachers. Further, the included list of complementary books and standards makes this an especially useful tool.
VERDICT A valuable resource for classroom teachers and school librarians with great appeal for parents and public librarians as well.
