Labeled Blastoff! Beginners, this elementary series ideal for primary grades features clear photographs directly connected to the terse text. The purpose of the books is to define the community place and identify words associated with it. Books include internet links, pictorial fast facts and glossary, and an index.

THOUGHTS: The small size of these books deflect from the attractive photos and easy text. If the books were larger, non-readers can benefit from the descriptions of the different community spots. As they are, young readers will learn simple facts about community places independently.
