[Clare Landrigan · Rating 4 out of 5]

We love this nonfiction series. The texts have beautiful photographs and are accessible for first and second graders. The text features in these nonfiction books are very clear for young readers. Each book has a table of contents, a clear diagram, bold print and a glossary. This is a perfect nonfiction mentor text for young writers to study who are writing “all about” texts.
