Landforms by Mary Lindeen is an informative, non-fiction book in the Earth Science Series. The book provides an interesting way that is easy for children to understand about landforms, types such as hills, valleys, ponds, oceans etc., and how they change such as volcano eruptions, erosion etc. There are facts given during the reading are accompanied by wonderful photographs. This is also an early reader book that will help to reinforce reading skills and build confidence. At the back of the book it lists the high frequency words as well as content words that can be pre-taught or discussed if the book is being read aloud. The section at the back for parents and teachers gives suggested activities for connecting concept as well as resources for further investigation. A good book for a primary classroom learning about landforms and their changes. If using this with older readers, it could be an introduction to the topic and provide a jumping off point for further research and investigation. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley. ( )

Landforms is another addition to the Earth Sciences series for early readers by Mary Lindeen. Readers will learn about natural features of the earth, from those like rivers, lakes, and oceans, to massive mountains, and vast plains. Also discussed are ways the terrain can change, as by earthquakes, landslides, and the effects of wind and water. I would have liked to see mention that humanity is a big landscape changer as well. We change the flow of rivers, build hills, and tear them down, among other things. The end of the book features a Connecting Concepts section with questions to ask about the reading, and practise with vocabulary and reading fluency. My cubs and I enjoyed reading this book.
