Clever Calvin asks questions-then goes out and finds the answers. Six humorously illustrated books take kids on tours and teach them a few things about modern technology. Here are the stories of how electricity is generated and brought to our homes, how oil is pumped from the ground to become many different products, how paper is made, and how water is collected and purified-then brought to our kitchens, bathrooms and swimming pools. Two additional new volumes deal with paleontology (dinosaurs!) and ecological concerns in terms that will appeal to kids. Each Clever Calvin book features a glossary of science terms and suggestions for safe experiments children can perform.

This review is from: Where Does Electricity Come From? (Clever Calvin) (Paperback)
I bought this book as a Christmas present for my four-year-old daughter, who has been fascinated for months about electricity. She really enjoys it when I read this little book to her, even though it's clearly written for children a little older, given the use of words like "electron" and "generator" and "turbine." However, I make it a policy never to underestimate the ability of children to understand the world around them, and, much to my delight, my daughter recently pointed to the drawing of a generator in the book and said "generator!" This book makes learning fun, as it should be. Great artwork, too.
