    • Abstract:
      This article presents well-written and visually exciting informational series books on a range of topics. As children progress through a series, the predictability of the external and the internal characteristics allows them to learn to negotiate various aspects of nonfiction while delighting in the content and deepening conceptual understanding. After learning how to navigate one book within a collection, readers have a chance to deepen their understanding of concepts as they move on to the other books in the series. Comments and contributions from authors Brian B. Cleary and Judith Herbst also appear.
