Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature - Vicki Foote
In a question and answer format, this nonfiction book in the "First Facts, Why in the World?" series explains migration, the reasons for migrating, and how people are affected by migration. In one or two paragraphs, questions such as, "How do animals know when to leave?" and " Do migrating animals have a map?" are answered in terms that should be easily understood by young readers. The text is written for children in the lower grades, and the photographs of the animals in color are both appealing and informative. A page at the beginning explains the process of scientific inquiry. Words in bold print in the text, such as mate, sense, and instinct, are listed with their meanings in the glossary. A table of contents and index are included. The final pages contain a "Can you believe it?" page and another with the title, "What do you think?" There is a short list of related books and Internet site information. A few "Did you know?" boxes throughout the text give additional facts. This book is an excellent resource for children who are learning basic scientific concepts.
