Landau, Elaine. Rashes


Landau, Elaine.           Rashes           
Marshall Cavendish/Benchmark    2010   32p     28.50  978-0-7614-4835-8           
elem                Head-To-Toe Health (MC)   VG-BNes        
This well-illustrated book discusses the various types of rashes that children are likely
to get, with tips on avoidance and treatment as well.       This is a good little
book for the elementary set on the types of skin rashes that most children will
encounter ... measles rashes, poison ivy, etcetera.  The illustrations are
photographs, with good visuals on the rashes themselves as well as regular-
looking kids coping with them.  In the Spotlight features zero in on sidebar
issues, and new vocabulary words are bold-faced and listed in the glossary. 
This is a good introduction to the subject for younger researchers.  The
sentences are short, the type is easy-to-read, and the format is inviting.  The
websites are pretty good.     This is part of the Head-to-Toe Health series for
elementary students.            Kennedy, Carol
