Responding to the call of educators for easy-to-read nonfiction for younger students, Lerner created Pull Ahead Books. This innovative series engages new readers in their own learning. A map activity, animal-body diagram, short glossary, and Hunt-and-Find (pre-index skills) section are included. Supports the national science education standards Unifying Concepts and Processes: Systems, Order, and Organization: Unifying Concepts and Processes: Form and Function; Science as inquiry; and Life Science as outlined by the National Academics of Science and endorsed by the National Science Teachers Association.
