Editorial Reviews

11/01/2023
Gr 1–3—Each volume opens with a chart on the Table of Contents page explaining how the mark is used, with sample sentences given. The mark's name is also highlighted in red in example sentences and in a yellow box at the top of text pages. Missteps occur throughout. For instance, in the apostrophe volume, pages with example sentences don't remind readers of the "missing words" apostrophes replace. The TOC chart in the question-mark volume omits sentence examples of that mark's use; it also misleadingly defines one use as "takes the place of a period" and omits that it requires a change in vocal intonation. In the quotation-marks volume, only one example appears for any of its three listed functions; furthermore, children will find that example complicated to grasp. The series fares better visually: High-quality photos accompany texts, featuring racially and ethnically diverse children and families engaged in enjoyable activities. Back matter includes a lengthy word list organized by parts of speech and a picture glossary. VERDICT Provides basic information children must know to read and comprehend printed English. However, titles include errors and often omit important information. Recommended with caveats.
