Book Review: Teen Fatherhood "The book is written in a supportive and helpful
way not just pointing out the challenges but giving teen fathers a way to cope
with those challenges...The color photographs are wonderful and add to the
information in the book." --Teresa Kathcart, Weatherford High School Book Review:
Everyday First Aid "This book provides basic information on first aid and
prevention of injuries in a quick and easily accessible way...a good resource
for students needing information for research or for personal use." --Teresa
Kathcart, Weatherford High School Series Review: FAQ Set 7 "These presentations
provide sufficient background and then expand on each subject by referring to
recent studies and developments in the field. A conversational tone keeps the
books readable, and specific topics have information relevant to teens' lives.
For example, "Military Family's" tips on moving and adjusting to another
environment could be useful to any new student. Other features are a "Myths and
Facts" section and a list of important questions to ask a specialist (doctor,
trainer, etc.). The books are all illustrated throughout with captioned color
photos." --School Library Journal Series Review: "The FAQ: Teen Life series is
impossible to pigeonhole, but it's precisely that freedom that allows it to
tackle topics that wouldn't comfortably fit under more limiting umbrellas. While
conversational, these volumes are surprisingly helpful--and even emotive...the
need-to-know topics will drive readers to dig in..." --Booklist
