Gr 3-5-These titles take readers on field trips to the Gertrude Hawk chocolate factory and the Crayola crayon factory, both in Pennsylvania. Both focus on the manufacturing processes from raw materials through the finished products but have a double-page spread on the history of their respective subjects. Illustrated with excellent color photos that include bold and easy-to-read captions and descriptive text with catchy headings, these books are similar in style and format to the "New True" series (Children's). The attractive covers should entice browsers as well as report writers.-Kristina Aaronson, Bethel Elementary School Library, VT (c) Copyright 2010.
