The How To Be ... series is based on popular history topics, but presents the information in the form of a job interview — the reader 'applies' for the position of a Roman Soldier, a Pirate, a Knight, and an Egyptian Princess. In the words of The Bookseller's review, the Pirate title "... is a marvellous example of how to present factual information in a fresh and accessible way. The balance of text to illustration is just right, and the book is full of fascinating detail." |

| The Danger Zone and You Wouldn't Want To Be ... series are another fresh approach to teaching history, using humour to explore the gruesome nature of the life of a Roman Gladiator, and what happens to an Egyptian Mummy. Even popular topics such as the Titanic benefit from this new approach, providing all of the awful detail of the fateful voyage, moderated by the cartoon-like illustrations and the humorous speech bubbles that are used throughout. |

Popular science and technology subjects also receive the Salariya 'treatment' with books in the Accelerate and Fast Forward series making extensive use of 'split pages' to reveal before and after treatments as well as inside views — such as the volcano cross section shown here. | ||||||||||||||

| The series has been well received by reviewers and, to quote Joan Nellis from School Librarian, it "supports the National Curriculum and would be relevant in many areas if teachers wish to follow up with projects and discussions." | |||||||||||||||||

| The Whiz Kids and Buddies series introduce science topics that are taught at key stage 1 and are structured round the kinds of questions children ask, such as Tell Me How Ships Float, Tell Me Why Planes Have Wings, and Tell Me How Far It Is. The eponymous Buddies and their dog Boris endeavour to answer the questions, using simple experiments to try and things to make and do. |  |

| And the concept is clearly working. To quote the review from Books for Keeps "The rationale for these books has been thought out by a team that has really considered how to make some inviting information books for young children." We hope that you agree. | |||||||||||||||||
