The moon can't make its own light, so it receives light from the sun and then sends it to us here on the Earth.
Any child who's ever wondered about the fascinating properties of light will want to read this classic science title. Readers will even learn how fast light can travel: from the moon to the Earth in less than three seconds! Veteran science author Franklyn M. Branley's lively text and Stacey Schuett's new illustrations combine fun facts and hands-on activities in this accessible introduction to the science of light.

My Review: This book came in a box of used books and it seemed like an interesting book with great learning opportunities. Unfortunately this book took it way to far and became too technical and scientific for the audience. It would have been good if it had just focused on one concept dealing with light (ie. reflection) but it went into detail of many forms of light. Munchkin is a little advanced and often enjoys non-fiction books but this one was long and confusing for him, it is definitely not a book for someone reading picture books.

My Rating: This has concepts that should be introduced later in elementary school, not for early readers or picture book reading children. I give it a rating of One Paw.
This one sounds great but, yeah, they probably took it too far. I do have a few nieces and nephews who wouldn't think so, though. Brainiacs!
ReplyDeleteIt would be great for an elementary classroom as a reference for those future scientists but it is definitely geared towards a very specific audience.
