Recommended for young people in grades 4 to 7, the "What's That Got To Do With Me?" series is a set of children's picturebooks explaining important modern-day social issues, complete with full-color photography, discussion questions, websites for further research, a glossary, and an index. Topics are addressed in a mature manner, without talking down to adolescent readers. Individual topics address critical modern-day matters such as "Animal Welfare" (9781599200347), "Drugs" (9781599200354), "Elections and Voting" (9781599200361), "Global Warming" (9781599200378), "Racism" (9781599200385), and "War and Conflict" (9781599200392). In today's increasingly globalized world, it's more important than ever for young readers to know exactly what each of these issues has to do with them. Highly recommended, especially for public and grade school library children's collections.
