Due in part to peer pressure and pervasive tobacco company ad campaigns, many young people smoke. In straightforward language. Weitzman lays out the health risks of this dangerous addiction.School Library JournalGr 2-5-Children looking for introductory information about these issues will be well-served by the straightforward approach taken here. The topics are candidly discussed and readers are reassured that their concerns and emotions are often shared by others in the same situation. Single Parent emphasizes that jealously is an understandable reaction when a widowed or divorced parent begins to date again. The addictive nature of cigarettes and peer pressure are also handled with admirable directness in Smoking. Each title features a short page of text opposite a full-color, full-page photograph of average quality, and includes a simple but effective glossary. The open, friendly format of the books will encourage reluctant readers. Worthwhile additions.-Maura Bresnahan, Topsfield Town Library, MA
