Editorial Reviews

Series Review: Fun Fact File: Fierce Fish! “With graphics designed to look like file folders, these volumes present fascinating fish facts in concise but detailed chapters … Colorful, action-filled photos and captions that resemble ‘Post-It’ notes clarify and add additional information, as do charts listing data about the featured fish or their ‘friends.’ … the series is well suited for reports, and its fearsome covers and chatty tone gives it lots of browser appeal.” —School Library Journal Series Review: Fun Fact File: Fierce Fish! “The Fun Fact File: Fierce Fish! series may be hard to say but it’s easy to read and pitched just right for reluctant readers. Essentially, it’s a randomly arranged, numbered list beefed up with additional facts, an arrangement ideal for browsers. The one-fact-per-page formula keeps things brisk—a table breaking down the various names, locations, and sizes of each fish serves as an intermission—and every spread is enlivened by underwater photos and fun-fact captions. … Basic but snappy, these are good pit stops for first-time report writers.” —Booklist
