      Grades 2-4 This accessible explanation of greenhouses, part of the How Does It Work? Farm Tech series (4 titles), is designed for newly independent readers. Three brief chapters explain why greenhouses are used, how they help plants grow, and new technologies being used, such as aero- and hydroponics. User-friendly features include simple declarative sentences laid out on colorful backgrounds, highlighted vocabulary words, large color photos on every page that align directly with the text, supporting trivia, and helpful diagrams. A culminating activity (making a mini greenhouse out of paper cups) effectively reinforces the book's main concepts. Basic literacy and decoding strategies aimed at adults precede the table of contents; back matter includes a glossary and directions for accessing supplemental materials online. This visually pleasing offering will support STEAM collections and encourage nascent researchers to keep reading.
