This series definitely does that and more! Based on questions that have been asked by children, each book in this series provides developmentally appropriate, scientific responses written in child-friendly language. The questions are identified by either the child's age or grade level, with a geographic location and sometimes a first name. The responses are provided in clear, concise, easy-to-read paragraphs. The illustrations throughout the book add to the overall appeal for children and teachers too. Readers will discover answers to questions such as: How do grasshoppers jump so high? Why don't spiders get stuck in their own webs? And, Why do mosquitoes bite? This book was kid tested by a second-grade student who assumed the role of an elementary teacher--asking students questions, then reading the responses with sheer amazement. Do you think that all bugs have wings, class? She waited on her pretend students to respond. Suddenly, she stated, Well, we will have to read some more to find out if all bugs have wings! I will begin to read to you because I want to know about bugs. The answer: No, but most bugs do! Now we know the answer! This made me stop and really think. Isn't this is what science is all about for children? This book provides the springboard for children to think and learn about science in a non-threatening format that is easy to read and understand. After reading this book, your own students might develop the habit of questioning as well.-- NSTA Recommends Author InformationSuzanne Slade is the author of 100 books for children, including many titles on science topics.
