Sometimes I check out those science books with experiments you have a purchase a million things for, and I never manage to pull it off before I have to return the book. This one uses really, really common household objects to explore light and reflection.

I liked this book, it was written by the same author as the first science book I read. Just like the first one, this was an interactive book that encouraged the reader to try the experiments they're asking about in the book. I really liked this book, it discussed light and what allows you to see yourself in the reflection. Light is an incredibly hard topic to learn about, but I like how the book described it for us. I think the way the book is structured is phenomenal, and I really enjoyed reading this book. ( )

I See Myself introduces the concept of learning about light and electricity and the meaning behind being able to see yourself in the mirror. This book gives beautiful illustrations that are very helpful to young readers that are trying to make connections to the text. This story also displays humorous text that are filled with fun facts about light. I think this is a good book to read to students that are learning how light and electricity work. ( )

This book is in the same series as "I Get Wet". It is an informational book that encourages the student or child to reinforce their learning by actually carrying out the experiments on the pages. This book teaches how you can see your reflection in shiny things with light... You cannot see your reflection in things like grass, a sweater, or on a page because it is not shiny and light does not reflect. ( )

This book is great to introduce kids to science and unfolds a curiosity for experiment. This book is similar to an experiment but one hat doesn't require much. The experiment includes a mirror, flashlight, and ball. the note to readers in the beginning of the book was an excellent touch by the author because of course without it, the reader would not know what to expect from this type of book. In the author's acknowledgments, Cobb thanks some professors who were responsible for helping her get her concept onto paper, an helping her with the development of the idea. In the end of the book, another access feature to this book is some information about the author and illustrator, and some of their history and accomplishments. ( )
