K-Gr. 3. With straightforward, succinct texts, these additions to the Starting Life series introduce children to the life cycle of familiar species in a picture-book format. Duck follows mallards from eggs to hatchlings to adults during a 12-month period. tree describes the growth of an apple tree from seed to seedling to sapling to mature tree with fruit over the course of several years. The pages, made from extra-heavy stock, gradually increase in size, allowing for a tabbed effect on the right side of the book. As children flip each page, they'll discover that the picture on the left blends neatly with the illustration on the front end papers, giving the feel of full-page spreads. The brightly colored, photographic-style artwork is appropriately realistic and flexible enough to allow for inside and cut-away views. The pictures are generously captioned, but although obvious effort has been made to place captions on light areas of the art, the printed matter occasionally disappears within the picture. A glossary and a life-cycle summary conclude each of these volumes, which will be welcomed by browsers and report writers alike. Great books to set out alongside titles in the Watch Me Grow series, published by DK. Kay Weisman
