Publisher's Note Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science books help satisfy a young child's curiosity about the world books. Each book in the series introduces basic science concepts and builds on them using a step-by-step method, based on theories about how young children should learn best. Stage 1 books explain simple and easibly observable science concepts to preschool and kindergarten-age children. Stage 2 books explore more challenging concepts for children in the primary grades and include hands-on activities that children can do themselves.
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
