(4) K-3 Exploring Habitats with Benjamin Blog and His Inquisitive Dog series. Wide-eyed cartoon narrators Benjamin Blog and his dog, Barko Polo, guide readers through two-page introductions to aspects of coral reefs, alternately styled as Benjamin's blog excerpts and Barko's "Blog-tastic" facts. Entries emphasize reef formation and animal inhabitants. The gimmicky format is unnecessary, but the whole is informative nonetheless. Large stock photos simultaneously educate and serve as visual resting points for young readers.
