Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6-- The authors' intent that readers ``. . . learn a lot about the science involved in the natural world'' has not been realized. Some statements are blatantly incorrect, and an activity called ``A Friendly Oil Spill'' does not re-create the effects of oil on water and is misleading. The deliberate defacing of U. S. coins in another activity may be of questionable legality. Despite the title, these are demonstrations, not experiments, and the list of real projects in the opening chapter may be beyond the abilities of the intended age group. The instructions and accompanying black-and-white drawings are exceptionally clear and easy to follow. However, the authors do not practice what they preach: plastics are used extensively in the demonstrations; boiled cabbage is discarded, neither eaten nor composted; and the book is not printed on recycled paper. Miller and Berry's Acid Rain (Messner, 1986) is a better choice, although for somewhat older readers, as is Javna's Fifty Simple Things Kids Can Do to Save the Earth (Andrews & McMeel, 1990). --Meryl Silverstein, American Museum of Natural History, New York City
