An educational juvenile non-fiction book perfect for older elementary and young middle schoolers about landforms. Would be a good resource for book reports and other school projects.

Great visuals - clear and engaging. Good bites of information for primary students.

Landforms, by Mary Lindeen is an informative book that provides a fun way for children to learn about various aspects of landforms.

As a part of the Read and Discover Science series, this book encourages children to learn about scientific subjects while working on their reading skills. According to a note from the publisher: "The series can be used with beginning readers to practice high-frequency words, academic language, and to expand comprehension of life, earth, and physical science."

Within thirty-two pages, this book features interesting facts about landforms and Did You Know sidebars intermixed with intriguing full-color photographs. Also, there are sections titled as Earth's Landforms, Connecting Concepts and Word List.

Landforms is a children's picture book that's geared toward kindergartners to third graders.


Note: I received this book from NetGalley, which is a program designed for bloggers to write book reviews in exchange for books, yet the opinions expressed in this review are my own.

I think that this was written perfectly for the target age group. It’ll help give kids a jump start on geography.

Great concept for the book. While the pictures match the descriptions on the corners, sometimes the vocabulary words to quite work. For instance, what differentiates ocean, river, pond, lake? The pictures chosen could easily be similar things at different scales.

A good start for sure. But just adding a few more details would save a lot of confusion.

Landforms is a beginning to read book in the Earth Science series. This is the perfect book for young early readers to learn about the science of landforms and the many shapes they take in our earth. It is easy to read and the photographs are in gorgeous colors, and truly make it easy to understand what mountains, plateaus, hills, etc. are. The reading word list is simple and geared for early readers. I recommend this series for elementary school libraries, ESL programs, public libraries, and early learning centers that teach science, as well as preschools.
