Two boys' review: Introduce young kids to physics with The Flash

How fast is fast? The Flash acts as a guide to the fastest people, machines and animals on Earth. We recommend the DK Readers series. Our sons -- ages 5 and 4 -- really enjoy reading about superheroes, so we use that interest to introduce them to other topics (see my listmania list and other reviews). Each of these books offers several graphics on each page. The information is arranged in brief chapters with lots of USA Today-style sidebars. We also have the "I Can Read" books for young readers which we use for bedtime reading. The Level 4 books are more difficult and are better shared a few pages at a time. These make a great spring board for weekend science projects and activities. We also own: Green Lantern's Book of Great Inventions Aquaman's Guide to the Ocean Incredible Hulk Book of Strength Batman's Guide to Crime & Detection
