Parents' Magazine Press Finding-Out Books, also known as Stepping-Stone Books, published throughout the 1970s.
I've seen Indians and Wetlands and I'd say this series is best suited for the third-to-eighth-grade range of readers. The illustrations are excellent, and Parents' Magazine Press was doing some of the best work in children's publishing in this era, so if you find one, grab it for your collection!
