K-3Materiales series.
These books introduce properties and uses of various natural and synthetic materials. Content is very limited, but the simple, repetitive texts will build reader confidence. Well-reproduced photographs are on target for the beginning-reader audience (e.g., El caucho features erasers, rubber ducks, and rain boots). Occasional translation errors and spotty glossaries (some with only one or two entries) detract from the series. Glos., ind. Review covers these Materiales titles: El agua, El caucho, El metal, El plástico, El vidrio, La madera, La piedra, and La tierra.
