Using illustrations that connect to picture book styles, young readers can get excited by the life cycles of animals and plants around them. Sentences are short and simple, keeping reading levels in line with the expectations from the vibrant art. In a lovely yet light touch, there are also di- verse depictions of children with different abilities included in a normalized, inclusive way. VERDICT Concise and visually enticing enough that librarians could easily incor- porate these titles into story times alongside classics like The Very Hungry Caterpillar to tuck in some core STEM concepts.
