Wired World (Discovery Education: Technology)
Author/Actors/Director/etc.: Andrew Einspruch
Format: Library Binding
Publisher: Powerkids Pr (2012, Aug 10th).
Pages: 32
Gr 4-7-These titles vary widely in content and organization. Only a few paragraphs of main text appear on each page, with the remainder found in numerous sidebars and captions for diagrams and photos. Several of the books have a "You Decide" section that provides the pros and cons of controversial issues (e.g., "will robotic research and technology do more good for humans than bad?") and encourages readers to make up their own minds. The science in DNA is at a higher level than the other titles and covers content often taught in high school biology. The type size is tiny, and because the text is broken up into such small chunks, students might need to consult other sources for more information. Libraries may wish to check and see what stand-alone titles they already own on similar topics before investing in the complete series. more

Chicken Butt!
Author/Actors/Director/etc.: Erica S. Perl
Format: Hardcover
Publisher: Abrams Books for Young Readers; Library Binding edition (2009, Apr 1st).
Pages: 32
You know what?What?Chicken butt! The classic schoolyard joke has been recast as an irreverent picture book, with call-and-response parts for parent and child. The word repetition in Erica S. Perl’s text, and wonderfully comic illustrations by beloved artist Henry Cole, make this a particularly inviting book for new readers, as does the opportunity to “trick” a parent or other adult into participating in a very silly joke. The humor builds to a surprising and satisfying conclusion. Warning: Kids will want to read this one over and over and over again! “An unhinged piece of slap-happy rhyming…rocket-propelled artwork…the romp is a powerful piece of cacophony, more frenetic by the moment.”—Kirkus Reviews . more

Format: Hardcover
Publisher: Abrams Books for Young Readers (2011, Apr 1st).
Pages: 32
Erica S. Perl and Henry Cole team up once again to deliver spot-on humor with their unforgettable chicken character. In this cheeky (sorry!) sequel to the wildly fun Chicken Butt!, the young jokester and his chicken muse are back, but this time they're trying to trick Mom. She thinks she has caught on to the gag, but as she distractedly does the grocery shopping, she falls victim to a flurry of jokes using homonyms and homophones—words such as "dear" and "deer," and "which" and "witch." Wordplay has never been so much fun. Like Chicken Butt!, this story encourages children to participate in a call-and-response reading format that reinforces their reading skills.Praise for Chicken Butt's Back!"Coles’ tickled-pink cartoonish artwork gets right into the mix, the chocolate chip to the cookie dough. more
