Personal Review/Selection rationale:
I am continuing my search for new, reviewed, non-fiction titles that would be appealing for kindergarten through third grade students. I am looking for standards-based titles, as well as non-standards-based. I am using Titlewave as the program will let me know if the title is already in our collection. From the reviews, this book looks fabulous and I have requested it from the public library. I am going to add it to my current list of books to purchase for this school year. If the teachers like it, I will suggest it for a classroom title.
