Review quote
Enthusiastic... Swanson's zest for science in all its diverse forms comes through on every page... lively and engaging. How early curiosity paves the way for large discoveries... anecdotes interspersed with activities that challenge readers' scientific thinking. As education and entertainment, this is triumphant. Burdett's couplets are immediate, colloquial, and accessible even to the very young.--Philippa Shephard"Quill and Quire" (06/01/1996) Highly recommended. Contains quotes as well as classroom activities.--Cathlyn Thomas"Library Media Connection" (05/01/2015)
