Publisher's Note Any child who's ever wondered about the fascinating properties of light will want to read this classic science book. Franklyn M. Branley and Stacey Schuett combine fun facts and hands-on activities as they explore the science of light. Full color.
Industry Reviews A simple activity, observing a white plate in a dark room, gives young children a chance to understand first-hand the idea that some light is always present in our world, despite the appearance of darkness. Handsome acrylic paintings appealingly interpret the text, though the presence of fireflies in some illustrations raises a point not discussed, cold light sources. Overall, the book succeeds admirably in leading readers to look at familiar phenomena from different perspectives. Annotation copyright H.W. Wilson Company. Phelan
