Series Review: Our Changing Earth"These books are valuable introductions to six areas of our planet that are undergoing change. The short sentences make these books easy enough for students in lower grades, while the content is sufficient for those approaching middle school to gain a basic understanding. Useful for reading aloud, due to the colorful illustrations and presentation of text, the busyness of the pages can be distracting for some readers. Some students might have problems with the vocabulary, however these topics are not always easily expressed using simple language. These titles tie in with ecology, science, and Earth Day, helping students to see the impact of what is being done today and what was done in the past."
