Grades 3-6 The Brands We Know is a rather unassuming series title for books that will likely jump into readers' hands. That's because these books look at several manufacturers of products beloved by children. Barbie offers a crisp intro that details the doll's long and storied history. Visual learners will be drawn to the many color photos in the books, but there is plenty of good information as well. Time lines are a helpful aid to put these popular toys in context. Plenty to like here for a wide variety of children.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
