| 9780152162498 | Marco's Run (Green Light Reader. Level 2) | Wesley Cartier | From School Library Journal Kindergarten-Grade 2-Two serviceable easy-readers. Marco's Run features an African-American boy who is jogging through a city park. As he moves faster and faster, he imagines himself to be various swift animals, such as a rabbit, a bobcat, and a cheetah. Splash introduces two clumsy bears that have fun playing in a fish-filled river. Both books have short sentences, simple vocabularies, and colorful illustrations that tie in well with the texts. However, the stories lack verve, and Marco's Run, in particular, may not hold the attention of children.Anne Knickerbocker, Cedar Brook Elementary School, Houston, TX Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Winter is over and Milo sets out to explore. But Milo knows every nook and cranny of his small island and he is restless and bored. How wonderful it would be, he thinks, to see what lies over the horizon. He shares his dream with the other cliff mice, and together they build a giant raft and set out on a voyage of discovery. Their voyage takes them to a lush tropical island inhabited by friendly striped mice. What kind of explorers will the cliff mice be? Will their discovery lead to good or evil? It's up to the reader to decide. Halfway through the story, the book splits into two sections, each offering a different ending.

| 9780394824574 | Moonwalk: The First Trip to the Moon (Step-Into-Reading, Step 5) | Donnelly, Judy | The thrill of man's first steps on the moon is recreated for beginning readers. The suspense builds over five chapters, which cover the take-off, the history of the space race, the development of rockets, the astronauts' training, and finally the astronauts experience in space. Actual photographs taken from the space capsule are included in this exciting read.School Library JournalGr 2-3-- The story of Apollo II' s historic flight 20 years ago from lift-off, through ``The Eagle has landed,'' to splashdown and subsequent quarantine (fear of ``moon germs''). Except for occasional side comments, Donnelly doesn't go into great detail, but she does a good job of setting the stage, with chapters on the history of the idea of flight to the moon, one on astronaut selection and training, concluding with a penetrating look at the flight's effect both on the three astronauts and on people in general. Despite our space program's huge and beautiful legacy of photographs, most of the illustrations here are bland color paintings that rob the narrative of a sense of reality and give the book a cheap look. Too bad--aside from Fradin's Moon Flights (Children's, 1985), there's little available on the subject for younger readers. --John Peters, New York Pub . Lib . | Random House Books for Young Readers |
