Review
'In this series, the reader learns about trendy brands seen by people everyday around the world. The books discuss how the brand was invented and how it grew to be famous. All of these books contain information that is very engaging and informative to readers of all ages and stages of life. These non-fiction books include numerous non-fiction text features to support the reader in understanding the important facts in the book. Some non-fiction text features included in each book are engaging photographs, a table of contents, labels, headings, graphs, bold-faced words, a chart, a timeline, a glossary, and an index. The interesting thing about all of these books is that the ‘brand’ was invented by ordinary people who just thought of something that hadn’t yet been invented. It is very inspiring to read the stories of how one idea became such an important part of our everyday lives. These books allow the readers to be ‘dreamers’ of their own possible inventions to make our world a better place.', Charity Nadrozny, 2nd Grade Teacher, Illinois, Educator Review,'Roblox is an online game platform that brings together people from all around the world. A computer scientist named David Baszucki started a company in 1989 with the mission of teaching students about physics. In 2004 he created a new company called Dynablocks but soon changed the name to something more memorable, Roblox. Roblox is a combination of two words, robots and blocks. This book is a great introduction to explain what Roblox is and the timeline of how it has developed over the years. The graphics and pictures in this book give great information and help support the writing. The book is written around a 4th-grade reading level, but being 32 pages long and with supporting graphics it could be accessible to younger readers. Readers who play Roblox will not learn new tips or tricks to help them play better, but they will learn about the creators and history of how the game has come to be over the years. This book is a good explanation of what Roblox is for someone interested in the history of the game, or for someone who has not yet played the game or is just a beginning player.', Kim Moore, South Sound Book Review Council, Washington
