This review is from: The Science Book of Color: The Harcourt Brace Science Series (Hardcover)

"The Science Book of Color" is a very good resource for ideas on several different types of experiments that a child can do with color. Its also a good reference for teachers who are not too familiar with science. They can use these experiments to supplement their lessons. The ideal audience of the book is children ages 5-8. Its organized very neatly, and the steps for each experiment are very clear-cut. The book also provides colorful and realistic pictures to aid its instructions, which prove to be very helpful and make it extremely easy to follow. In addition, another reason I liked this book is because it provides footnotes/facts for each experiment to help you apply your discovery to meaningful everyday situations.
