high interest and low level book

This is a great high-interest and low-level reading book and series. The books are small with large print and about 50 pages long with lots of pictures. They aren't exhaustive for the topics covered, but they give a great deal of information by being concise when you consider the book's size. Special features are Did you know... fact insets, a map, glossary, list of other resources, and an index. After an attention-getting introduction, the chapters start off with a story about a particular incident and then go into the content of the chapter. Difficult words are also explained in parentheses besides being in the glossary. In this book, the three chapters cover how fires are started and how they spread, the different types of fires, and how fires are fought as well as prevention techniques. The last chapter also has an interesting page describing how wildfires are a part of earth's delicate balance and are necessary. Elementary and middle school students will benefit from these books. Even high school students might find them a nice change of pace from the thick books they normally use for research.
