Gr 3--4--Each title explores natural creations of the world. Three chapters of eight pages long contain a page of text with a corresponding colorful photograph sometimes alongside a sidebar fact or labeled diagram. Primary sources about the natural attraction are included with critical thinking questions, and suggestions for further research are provided via online resources to connect to the chapter readings. The final pages include a map of where the landform can be found, glossary, further reading material, and index. The geographic information of each landform and its importance in culture, such as the rock formation Uluru to the Anangu people (Uluru) is described with care. While not every reader has the ability to do the online activities, they give students another way to connect to the text and do research using primary and secondary sources. VERDICT A well-rounded introduction to using resources and to the naturally engineered wonders on Earth.
