Juvenile biography of Newton is well-illustrated, but lacks any real depth about his theories and discoveries. Disappointing for a National Geographic production. ( )

Book description
This book tells about Isaac Newton’s life. The audience is anyone who is interested in science. At the bottom of each page is a time line of what happened in Isaac Newton’s life. Then, each page talks about the event that happened on the time line. There are many pictures throughout the book that help tell the story of Isaac Newton. At the end of the book there is a glossary of the main terms that were mentioned throughout the book. The end of the book also has a bibliography and index. This book would be challenging for young children to read because there are a lot of words per page. The science process skill that this book uses is modeling because the book shows the models of Isaac Newton’s experiments. I chose this book because children can learn about Isaac Newton and it could help children understand about what he did.
