The Zigzag titles are designed to introduce individual subjects to children and then encourage them to Zigzag down other paths to find out more. From the thought-provoking titles to the last spread where a Zigzag path of adventure awaits, these books offer solid information wrapped in an appealing package. "I-can-read" print combines with chalk-bordered photographs, which are artfully amended to clarify, illuminate, and pique interest. Each text holds the child's attention with humor and irreverence and thought-provoking questions; all are written in K1-appropriate, easy-to-understand language. Every book addresses science-as-inquiry curriculum standards, but the kids won't know—they'll be too busy Zigzagging their way through the start-to-finish chart to a world of knowledge.
