Customer Reviews

learn about science in this nice book for youngsters

Find out about some of the things that are science, and then think of some more when you finish the book. The illustrations are bright and colorful with lots to look at. The text rhymes and flows very smoothly as you read it aloud. And although it talks about many different facets of science, many different topics it does allow open-endedness to the question so that readers can try to answer the question themselves as well. This is an all around great book.
