K-3Exploring Materials series.
Each book introduces a specific material using simple, kid-friendly questions that provide information such as where the material comes from and how it is used. At times the text can be repetitive ("Chalk is soft rock" and "Chalk comes from rock") or could benefit from further explanation, but the short sentences and clear photographs are ideal for beginning readers. Glos., ind. Review covers these Exploring Materials titles: Metal, Plastic, and Rock.
