Editorial Reviews 编辑推荐

Kindergarten-Grade 2-Two welcome additions to a prolific seriesdesigned to educate and stimulate young learners. In the firstbook, Branley explores magnetism and the uses and history ofmagnets. Several simple experiments allow for hands-on, empiricalverification of concepts. The illustrations, the tone of the text,and the device of a helpful mouse add appeal to a subject that mayhave had a limited audience. The second title, which iscomplemented by Lloyd's artful renderings, examines camouflage asan animal defense. Each spread shows several creatures blended intotheir natural environment; all of them are accurately illustratedand clearly identified. The final pages invite readers to take acloser look at the world around them and discover hidden life.These titles are well-designed, written, and illustrated. In bothbooks, the information is relevant and succinct. These beautifuland simple introductions to science will appeal to any child whohas ever asked, "Why?"-Christy Norris, Valley Cottage Library,NY
