Summary: Simply Fun
Comment: Nora Gaydos produces great tools for making learning fun and enticing. She's done it again with these child-sized science books (about 5"x5").
The ten paperback books come in a slipcover (not the CD storage-like book that her "Now I'm Reading" series comes in) and offer the following topics (quoted from the parent's guide):
Blast Off!: Covers the heavenly bodies that make up space, including the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars; Bones: Discusses your skeleton and why bones are important to you; Lots of Rocks: Talks about the variety of rocks around us and how we use them; All Wet: Tells how water comes in different forms and discusses water conservation; Week of Wild Weather: Covers the different types of weather conditions; Our Planet: Discusses the topography of our planet Earth; The Changing Caterpillar: Shows the life cycle of a butterfly; Watch It Grow: Shows parts of a plant and how plants grow; and What Are You? Covers the basic classification of animals. There is also a Parent Guide which gives an overview of the materials and discusses how to use the books, and includes 40 reading incentive stickers.
At the back of each book there is a science experiment to do together with your child to illustrate the lesson. Instructions are very easy & they utilize items commonly found in most households. There are also small sections at the back which highlight some basic facts of the lesson, and some questions which focus on reading comprehension.
The books were written as independent readers, but are completely appropriate for curious toddlers who like to be read to as well. The recommended ages printed on the box says 4-7. I like the books because they are short (11 pages of story) yet they convey concepts in an interesting and not too simplistic way (a tough feat for 11 pages with 1-3 short sentences per page). These are great tools for home and school. My 3.5 year old thinks they are great fun and asks to do the experiments again & again. The books definitely provide entertaining learning and are well worth the price. They can also be a great way of spending quality time together with your child.
