Gr 1-3-These easy-readers are dominated by large, colorful photographs. Many of those in Danger! appeared in Simon's Earthquakes (Morrow, 1991) and some are poorly reproduced, often grainy. A few lines of generally clear and informative text accompany the illustrations on each page. The numerous examples in the first book tend to focus on earthquakes that scored highest on the Richter scale. Giant Machines uses simple language and easy-to-understand comparisons to explain the size and capacity of these mechanical marvels. The illustrations are crisp and clear and will grab readers' attention; one features a giant dump truck with tires twice as tall as a person and another shows a huge tractor that looks like a futuristic bug. Both volumes include tear-out "collector's cards" that families might enjoy but will soon disappear from library copies.-Edith Ching, St. Albans School, Mt.

With brief, accessible text, engaging topics and a perforated page of collectible cards Seymour Simon's See More Reader series will rope in even the most reluctant readers. According to Danger! Earthquake, "most of the world's earthquakes happen in a zone called the Pacific Ring of Fire." A map of the world highlights the hot spots. Bulldozers, dump trucks and offshore oil rigs get their due in Giant Machines. Additional offerings include Wild Bears; Killer Whales; and Planets Around the Sun. (Apr.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

A well-written text clearly explains the formation of tornadoes and scientists' efforts to predict their paths. Though the dark color photographs of tornadoes are ominous, Simon puts the likelihood of their occurrence in any given location into perspective. Other color illustrations include satellite images and weather maps. From HORN BOOK Fall 2002, (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Chilling, thrilling, and packed with facts, these Level 2 "See More Readers," intended for children in grades 1-3, will capture the attention of beginners as well as older, less-able readers hungry for facts about the world. Simon (Destination Space, p. 427, etc.) links awesome photos to lucid explanations rich in detail. Here, he explains why and where earthquakes occur, tells how they are measured, and recounts some of the most spectacular earthquakes of all time. Readers will learn that Alaska has more earthquakes than any other state and that the 1985 earthquake in Mexico City killed more than 10,000 people. Simon provides a handy map of earthquake regions and explains what to do if you are in one. Another entry at this level, Super Storms (1-58717-137-6) describes thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and blizzards. In it, he states, "A bolt of lightning is 50,000 degrees. That's five times hotter than the surface of the sun." And "In July 1995, a fast-moving group of thunderstorms hit New York State. . . . Over 3,000 lightning bolts struck in one minute." Each title comes with four collectible trading cards, but they aren't really necessary since this is very appealing science reading. (Easy reader/nonfiction. 6-8)
《书目》(Booklist)书评
Gr. 1-3. The subject is science at its most dramatic, and the many double-page color photos of wrecked buildings will pull new readers into the scenes of catastrophe. The geology isn't easy («movements in the mantle have cracked the crust into huge floating pieces called plates»), but with adult help, children can explore the facts of what makes the rocks move and what those Richter scale numbers mean. There's also a clear map showing where most earthquakes hit. The title of the series, SeeMore Readers, is clearly a pun on the name of the author, whose many exciting books have helped young people appreciate more science. Hazel Rochman.
