At Kids Can Press, we recognize that viewing a single spread is not always effective when attempting to evaluate reading level, gauging student interest or appraising the quality and detail of illustration in a children’s book.

For this reason, we have worked with Lookybook.com to incorporate full, cover-to-cover previews of select picture books and early reading titles within our on-line store. We believe that Lookybook is the most compelling previewing experience currently available on-line, and that it’s as close and you can get to flipping through pages of the real book in a bookstore, at a trade show or school library. We hope that you will take advantage of this useful feature while browsing through our Web site.

For more information about Lookybook, or to read reviews of our books by librarians, industry experts and moms and dads, visit www.lookybook.com.

Awards 2007 Information Book Award, Children’s Literature Roundtables of Canada, short-listed 2007 Louis J Battan Author’s Award, short-listed Reviews “… Who Likes the Wind? … is particularly successful as a non-fiction book, using concrete examples from everyday life to elucidate some physical principles … Adults will appreciate this excellent teaching tool, since it reminds them to value the curiosity and fascination children have for the world around them. At the same time, the book will equip care-givers with accurate, explicit explanations to answer kids’ many questions. They will doubtless learn a thing or two themselves in the process.” — Quill & Quire, March 2006 “At first glace, this book in the Exploring the Elements series appears to be a traditional picture book in which a multi-cultural cast of children at the beach, in the country, and in the city tell why they like the wind and ask questions related to their experiences. But there’s a nice surprise: each right-hand page folds out to reveal the answers to the child’s question along with several spot illustrations that help demonstrate the wind’s impact … Lafrance’s acrylic paintings offer attractive scenes of children at play as well as good visual explanations. A user-friendly introduction to the science behind everyday occurrences.” — Booklist, April 2006
