K-Gr 2-Warriors are a source of fascination for children, and these titles make historical fighters accessible to students just beginning to read on their own. The text and design of the books are spare, and vocabulary words are introduced unobtrusively. Pronunciation assistance is included within the texts. The illustrations are reproductions of historical artwork, lending the books a feeling of maturity that independent readers will appreciate. The concepts are simple, but introduced without oversimplification that might lead to misunderstandings. These are excellent introductions-and fun to read aloud. (c) Copyright 2011.
