Good for program: make a cell, microscope The narrator of this book is Ellie, a single skin cell on "the derriere of a Boston terrier." It starts with the dictionary definition of a cell, which is a little too advanced for younger audiences, but the rest of the book has just a few facts on each page, and most are presented in ways that make it easy for kids to understand ("a cell is an itty-bitty building block that stacks together with other cells to make...dogs and...humans and...everything else that's alive!"). There is a huge variety of fonts and a lot of color, with no white space at all, making the book feel a little crowded sometimes. We'll come back to this one.
