I've been keeping track of the books read (and recommended) in each episode as Zac and I watch a few in the summer between first and second grade. It has been lovely and low-key and a very suitable introduction to educational television. Today we enjoyed the episode called Is This a House for Hermit Crab? and one of the books recommended was Spider's Web.
When I looked it up I found it's part of an educational book series which features "stopwatch" step-by-step photography... and they look fantastic! Here are the titles I've found so far:
Apple Tree
also released as
Broad Bean Big Book
also released as
Ladybird Big Book
also released as
Tadpole and Frog Big Book
And this is definitely from the Stopwatch series but I don't know what it is!
It looks to me like the Stopwatch series is older and long ago out of print, and the Watch It Grow series is newer -- using the same photographs -- but out of print as well. He also did an amazing Keeping Minibeasts book series.
It's too bad that when they re-released the series they took out some of the really cool titles like Earwig and Newt and Stickleback. I think vintage nonfiction books for children are so much better than the modern ones!
