Talking About series.
This simplistic, repetitive book discusses what it means to be physically disabled. The straightforward text is easy to understand, if not particularly engaging. Photos that look less posed than those in other books in the series show children and adults working and playing. A note to adults offers suggestions for talking with children about this topic. Bib., glos., ind.

Talking About series.
A simplistic, somewhat repetitive text tackles the complex subject of animal rights. Each double-page spread features color photos of children interacting with animals and answers a question (e.g., "Why Do Some People Harm Animals?") that reinforces the positive steps readers can take to protect animals. A note for adults suggests follow-up activities based on the issues raised in the text. Bib., glos., ind.
