Last year I read another selection from this series, Pirates. Warriors is not as universally appealing.
My 2nd grade girls groaned just at the title, and I never really recaptured their attention. (Pirates had no such drawback.) The boys seemed to enjoy most of it, but still not the same enthusiasm I'm used to seeing from my class.
I don't think I'll give up on this series for future selections, but this title was not for everyone.

The stars in this series come from Anders Hanson's design. The credit shows him as a designer at Mighty Media, Inc. Did he pitch the series to ABDO, or did they hire his design firm for the editorial team's concept (Liz Salzmann)? We'll see what I can find out.
All stock photos and art, but with unique design work on each double-page spread. A general scheme for color and backgrounds provides a consistent feel not only throughout the book, but over the whole series. With this general rule for the look, Hanson (and Mann? did she work with him on design, or did she write the words?) have done a great job providing a cohesive and interesting visual experience.
The text is informative, but not special. Simple factual sentences are either strung together in small 2-4 sentence paragraphs or stand alone as captions. Diane Craig consulted as a reading specialist, and I wonder if she was in charge of keeping vocabulary and sentence complexity low? If not, what was her role?

Meh. This book is very thin on information, not even a paragraph on each highlighted warrior.

Young readers, but a good collection of boy-interesting facts.
