Uses a graphic novel-type format to reach reluctant readers

The 'Live It' series offers character sketches around issues, uses a graphic novel-type format to reach reluctant readers, and offers 32 pages including an index, glossary and bibliography. Arranged around themes, each book offers theme discussions using biographies as the foundation for considerations of values and ethics. Molly Aloian's RESPONSIBILITY, Marina Cohen's COOPERATION, Robert Walker's INTEGRITY and OPTIMISM, and Natalie Hyde's COURAGE are a few examples of a strong series likely to appeal to many elementary-level libraries. Bobbie Kalman's PREPARING FOR DISASTERS offers a 32-page coverage of various kinds of disasters, telling how to create an emergency kit, designate a safe shelter, handle floods and more. These will lend to reports and study.
