What makes a butterfly a butterfly? Learn about their life cycles and more in this slim book.

Direct language makes this title easy to follow, even for young readers. However, it still contains a lot of information to help you walk away having learned something new.

The cover looks rather dated but the inside illustrations of full-color photographs were fine and all the information was correct.

A good little book for junior monkey enthusiasts, packed with a surprising amount of information.

This Rookie Read-About Science book takes young readers to the moon to see rocks and craters. It tells about astronauts walking on the moon and what they saw when they looked at Earth from the surface of the moon. It explains the various shapes of the moon that we see from Earth. And, one day, perhaps the young readers will be able to visit the moon themselves.

Easy, large-print words, and simple sentences help young readers interact with this book. An illustrated “Words You Know” section show more reinforces the young reader’s understanding.

Highly recommended, especially for young readers interested in science, the moon, and space travel. show less

This book was a very informative book about energy and the sun. It starts out by talking about how children use all of their energy. It connects to how they run and jump. It goes on to talk about how humans get energy from the food that we eat. It then continues to shows that the food that humans eat gets energy from the sun. It kind of shows the food cycle without explicitly showing the cycle. I liked this book because it really would connect to children. It talks to them, shows things they show more like to do, and the pictures are also pretty fun. This book would definitely be for younger students because it seems like a simple intro into the idea of sources of energy. During this unit I would have students read it and then talk about what they learned since it is pretty simple. show less
