| Gr 3-5--Inside this attractive set, readers will find well-organized overviews of outdoor activities. The design utilizes text boxes and colorful captions to present fact-filled, concise introductions. Lots of lively photos supplement the texts, and there are a number of "Explore This!" activity suggestions (such as marshmallow cooking, stargazing, and collecting rainwater) scattered throughout every title. Each book emphasizes safety and careful planning, the positive benefits of getting outdoors, and respect for the environment. Hunting is presented as "a chance to learn about the animals and their environment." The texts are clear and easy-to-read. For example, instructions in Kayaking for launching a kayak use simple enumerated text, captions, and photos. With helpful glossaries, these volumes can be useful for browsers or report writers.
