Reviews
Step-Up Books
Reviewed by Edward Garboczi
In a child’s book journey, two milestones are: the first chapter book read to them and the first chapter book that they can read for themselves. Usually, we think about this milestone applying to fiction, since there are many easy-to-read chapter books for children. Clyde Robert Bulla’s books are a great example. However, for non-fiction, I feel that there is sometimes less of an assortment available, with an exception being The Step-Up Book series. These are well-written, with large type and lovely illustrations, first chapter books that tell the story of a person or part of history.
