Summary: |
Describes the physical traits, lifestyle, and behavior of chickens and their role in providing humans with meat. True Books have been a staple of every library collection since the 1950s, when Children's Press launched the original series. The New True Books series, begun in the 1970s, was replaced in 1996, when Children's Press launched this bold new version of the True Books tradition. With a striking, full-color design and brand-new texts and color photos, True Books are now perfectly suited for today's young, investigative reader. Each book provides an inviting, basic introduction to a curriculum-relevant topic in about five chapters, supplemented by several full-page sidebars. Also included are a glossary, an index, and a "To Find Out More" section listing books, organizations, and Internet sites. Librarians across the nation agree: today's True Books are blazing a new trail as the definitive nonfiction series for elementary-school readers. |
