Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

ea. vol: illus. photogs. glossary. index. 45p. (New True Bks.). CIP. Childrens. Nov. 1985. PLB $7.95. Grade 1-3 Two attractive books that will fill a gap in material on these topics. Each book contains a clear table of contents, a section entitled "Words You Should Know" with pronunciations and definitions, and a useful index. The texts are large and widely spaced to entice beginning readers. Almost every page has one or more glossy color photographs or diagrams to illustrate and explain the concepts covered in the text. Kennedy Space Center covers a brief history of the space program as well as explains the difference between Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island. There are marvelous color photographs of the space shuttles Discovery and Columbia at lift-off. Solar Energy at Work introduces pertinent facets of solar energy and describes the difference between passive and active solar systems. Simple yet interesting experiments are included. These books will be a great help to teachers, librarians, and parents to launch the very youngest budding scientists. Frances E. Millhouser, Arlington County Public Libraries, Va.
