“Sidebars can be found in almost every chapter augmenting the
dietary information presented. This series also includes extra features
such as “text-dependent questions” which are designed to send the
reader back to the text for more attention to facts presented, as well
as a “words to understand” section prior to each chapter which is
designed to increase the reader’s understanding”
-Library Media Connection
“The concise, engaging writing is aptly accented by symbols that alert
readers to special vocabulary words.”
-School Library Journal
“The sidebars and illustrations supplement the text well and the
research project suggestions are especially useful for students and
teachers.”
