The World Around Me - Booklist
The books in The World Around Me series (6 titles) aim to bring common phenomena in preschoolers’ worlds to life through fictional narratives framing fact-filled content. In Animals in My World, the text alternates between what a young girl named Lizzie knows, observes, and feels about animals and facts such as “Monkeys have fur” and “Most monkeys have tails.” Li’s colorful, full-page illustrations bring a sense of cheerfulness and playfulness. Occasionally, illustrations are placed horizontally across two pages to suggest great height, rather than vertically on one page. Redshaw’s text tends to be more thematically linked than truly cohesive, but that won’t bother young readers. These books are useful for classroom units for younger children as well as for browsing.
