A superb introduction for young readers into genetics,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Call Me Gene - Second Edition (Paperback)
Now in an updated and revised second addition, continues to be a superb introduction for young readers into genetics. N.C. Bailey and N.L. Eskeland effectively collaborate to describe and explain all aspects of living cells including what they do and how they do it. Of special interest are the chapters on heredity, cloning, and mutation. A very highly recommended science book for young readers, Call Me Gene is enhanced for classroom and home schooling curriculums with a glossary, bibliography, and recommended websites on the gene.
