K-Gr 3—Lively and light, these two titles from DK move young readers through the worlds of bugs and farm animals. Natural facts are complemented with colorful depictions of woolly sheep, buzzing bees, and pink piglets. Tried-and-true activities such as baking honey cookies, making bugs out of egg cartons, and crafting a farm diorama from cardboard boxes add to the easy charm of these informative books. A preschooler's proclivity for visual learning is further strengthened with counting challenges, matching games, and mazes. A "Did You Know?" feature will give readers quick, easy facts to retain for future use. The eclectic style and simple crafts will inspire early learners to observe and re-create the natural world.
VERDICT A solid addition to STEAM collections.
