Editorial Reviews

This is part of the Heinemann Library series, My World of Science. It takes the reader through the changes a human makes from infant to childhood, the body changing shape, size, weight, bone structure, teeth, and hair. There are helpful tips on eating the proper foods that help you and bones to grow and stay healthy. The "thinking and learning" section tells how you can do more and different things as you grow older and that your brain never stops growing. I think this would be a great resource for grades 1-3.

Photographs and easy to read text provides young children a basis of understanding on a variety of science concepts. Three questions are posted in each of the books and allows the reader to become involved in the reading. Other books in this 21 volume series include: Color, Conductors & Insulators, Flexible & Rigid, Forces & Motion, Heavy & Light, Hot & Cold, Human Growth, Light & Dark, Living and Nonliving, Magnetic & Nonmagnetic, Magnets, Materials, Natural and Man-made, Shiny & Dull, Smooth & Rough, Soft & Hard, Solids, Liquids, & Gases, Sound & Hearing, Transparent & Opaque, Using Electricity, and Water. Text a little too long to read in its entirety to pre-K, but information and pictures are wonderful for introduction to these great science concepts.
