Broken Records- School Library Journal
Feats of eating, sports, and more are celebrated in this new series. Each slim book presents a different type of world record, with an emphasis on sensational and thrilling achievements. The text is written at a second grade reading level with one-to-three sentences per page. The readable text and high-interest subject matter is well-designed for hi-lo readers. However, the books could benefit from more information or supplementary text features like charts and graphs, as in the well-known world records books many readers gravitate toward. Page layouts are eye-catching, with full-page color photographs and attractive graphics. A QR code linking to Abdo Booklinks provides additional web resources for each book.
