* Reviews *
These easy readers are minimal productions. Each spread features a full-bleed color photograph on the left and two simple statements in a large font set against a white background on the right. The photographs are mainly close-ups of children eating or preparing various kinds of foods. While some of the pictures are pleasing to the eye, others suffer from odd lighting or unappealing facial expressions. The sentences reflect the content of the photographs, but they are flat and do not offer further substance. There is really nothing about the food groups to be learned from these books and there's no entertainment value, either. These uninspiring titles offer only a taste of early reading practice, and it's pretty bland. Emerging readers deserve better., School Library Journal February 2012
