These texts are full of rich pictures, graphics, and photographs that make them perfect for our emerging AND well-developed readers. \r\n\r\nThe books are incredibly beautiful texts that we are so fortunate to offer our students. The information in these books are presented in a modern, fresh, vibrant way.
