This book contains many riddles just waiting to be figured out. Each riddle is about something or someone involved with science. Readers get the opportunity to read each riddle, and decide what the answer is before they turn the book upside down to see the answer. Some of the riddles are about Charles Darwin, magnets, lasers, etc.

Looking at the information presented in the text, the science information is all accurate. The riddle are told in a rhyming way that gives each riddle a nice beat. The illustrations hinted at the answers of each riddle. Overall, this would be a great science book to share with a class. ( )

A great book of riddles and poems which are all about science. Some of the rhymes are about people who have had a great impact on science, other poems are about things that make up the galaxy. This book would make a great tool to get kids engaged and to have fun with science. Students will spend their time trying to figure out the riddles and it can also teach the children fun facts. The illustrations help to hint what the riddle is about, without giving away the answer. I enjoyed this book, even though there were times I was lost trying to figure out the riddles. Great for 2nd to 5th graders. ( )

A great and fun way to get students engaged when teaching about different things in science. Always a book to pick up when learning about something new. Also, students remember funny and fun ways when trying to study for remember things so this book would help with that. ( )

A wonderful collection of science poems/riddles. Each poem has an answer to what (or who) it's describing. They are very simple and rang in difficulty. Great for middle-elementary students.

I think this would be a great book for children who love science and riddles. I'll definitely be using this in my 2nd grade GT classroom to spark some interest! ( )

In this fun science informative book, riddles and rhyming are used to teach science facts to young readers. The book has a different theme for almost every page, and it has fun rhymes that teach science in many different places such as under the sea, space, the beach, a starry night and much more. Every page has a different riddle that teach a certain scientific fun fact.
