COPY ISBN
Gr 3-6–The newest entries in the “Factology” series, Dinosaurs and Romans, are filled to the brim with compelling tidbits and vocabulary to bring these high-interest nonfiction topics to life. Each full-color page uses clear and engaging infographics to draw readers in and visually represent time lines and identify key topics, whether comparing dinosaur ­species or understanding the government systems of ancient Rome. With clearly written text, broken into short paragraph blurbs, the books give context for readers who may have no familiarity with the topics. The books provide rich vocabulary, including scientific names and Latin terms, that add depth to the fun facts format. Both titles’ back matter includes a comprehension quiz, glossary, and topic index.
VERDICT As with previous “­Factology” titles, Dinosaurs and Romans are visually engaging and well-researched nonfiction titles that will serve school ­projects and capture the imagination of kids who ­devour series such as “Eyewitness” and “Who Would Win?”
