fresh and delightful. The music of Tschaikovsky is always popular, but in this instance the pictures really seem to catch the spirit of the music and the result is excellent. Material such as this indicates why the sound filmstrip is a good instructional medium. The strip is recommended for music work, for literature and language arts. The story seems to come alive and certainly provides a means for making ballet interesting. Suitable for use at any grade level and for church and club and social group activities and programs. Time Of Wonder (single strip, color, and record; produced by Weston Woods, Weston, Conn.; strip $6.50, record $4.95). This is a delightful story about how a family sets about closing their summer home, and how the weather too seems to be getting ready for the winter season. The drawings are soft and seem to create an atmosphere that serves as background for the story; the narrator's voice blends into this softness. The activities could take place anywhere, and the story is one which all who have ever closed a home or camp after a summer of busy activities will appreciate. The material is well suited to language arts work, to story hours and also to a study of hterary form and creative writing. Living Things Series (4 filmstrips, color; produced by Moody Institute of Science, P. O. Box 22575, Los Angeles, 25 California; $22.50 per set, $6 single strips). The titles included in this set are "Life In A Pasture," "How Does A Garden Grow," "Life Story of A Butterfly," and "Miniature Plants of The Desert." The series is an excellent one, and each individual strip is good. The photography in each instance is of high quality, and it is very evident that careful thought has gone into the preparation of subject content. The material, is such that it would be difficult for pupils to see many of the items included unless they could spend hours in the field and laboratory. The strips bring the world of basic, simple scientific facts to the eye of the pupil and enable him to see and study interesting and important details. This is good quality material, to be recommended for eleentary science. Comments and materials for review should be sent to the department editor—Irene F.
