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!

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 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!
