Fruit (First Discovery Books)
PreSchool-Grade 2-- Two small books that are sure to please youngsters. Although the ``Eyewitness Junior'' series (Knopf) does an excellent job of depicting detailed, close-up views of various objects, this series offers a new dimension; it features brightly painted transparent overlays to let readers experience the magic of an apple ripening, or a larvae turning into a full-grown ladybug. The spare texts follow the illustrations, introducing key vocabulary words by placing them directly under the appropriate item as in a picture dictionary. Additional notes on each page make these : selections appropriate for one-on-one sharing. Simple but accurate introductory presentations with glossy, eye-catching illustrations. --Debra S.
