SERIES REVIEW: The Pull Ahead Readers series consists of sets of paired titles. Half of the titles are designated as fiction, with color digital illustrations, while the others are nonfiction, with color photographs. Designed as pairings on the same topic, each title is straightforward, with very limited text, content, and length, which works well for early readers. This sixteen-book subseries focuses on polar animals, showing where they live and what they do. The color photographs in the nonfiction titles engage readers with the natural beauty of the animals and their environment, with the digital illustrations in the fiction titles providing the basis for a short, interesting story featuring the fictional version of the animal. The illustrations or photographs depict a range of animals on the ground, in the sky, and under the sea. These simple readers can be read on their own, in pairs, or as a complete set.
