Enjoy Your Cells is a new series of childrens books from the acclaimed creative partnership of scientist/author Fran Balkwill and illustrator Mic Rolph. Once again, they use their unique brand of simple but scientifically accurate commentary and exuberantly colorful graphics to take young readers on an entertaining exploration of the amazing, hidden world of cells, proteins, and DNA. It's over ten years since Fran and Mic invented a new way of getting science across to children. Think what extraordinary advances have been made in biology in that time and how often those discoveries made headlines. Stem cells, cloning, embryo transfer, emerging infections, vaccine development here in these books are the basic facts behind the public debates. With these books, children will learn to enjoy their cells and current affairs at the same time. And they're getting information that has been written and reviewed by working scientists, so it's completely correct and up-to-date. Readers aged 7 and up will appreciate the stories lively language and with help, even younger children will enjoy and learn from the jokes and illustrations no expert required! This series is a must for all elementary school students and those who care about educating them to be well-informed in a world of increasingly complex health-related and environmental issues.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great for a kid with a lot of intellectual curiousity,

This review is from: Have a Nice DNA (Enjoy Your Cells, 3) (Hardcover)
My 8 year old daughter, read this book on her own without asking questions and when she was done she had a clear understanding of genetics and DNA. I was very impressed with the way the material was presented. She was satisfied; I am thrilled. I am constantly on the look out for books that a second grader can understand, that introduce scientific concepts. So many of the books out there are just "grown-up" books that are poorly translated into more elementary language; the kid is confused and they don't learn anything. This book is NOT one of those! Definitely worth the money! If you are searching for a kids book on DNA look no further. Buy this book!

Science in a Fun Package,

This review is from: Have a Nice DNA (Enjoy Your Cells, 3) (Paperback)
Frances Balkwill has the ability to write about science without making it seem to science-y or over kids heads. Mic Rolph's pictures are fun and draw kids in to the ideas. This book explains cells, proteins, DNA, as well as some current genetic hot topics. I use these with junior high students. They are always engaged in the topic!

This review is from: Have a Nice DNA (Enjoy Your Cells, 3) (Hardcover)
This book is a terrific introduction to DNA. My daughter is seven and learned a lot, but even so we will keep this
book around, as I know she will understand even more as she gets older. A wonderful book for homeschooling!
