Editorial Reviews
New books in the Denver museum of Nature and Science series do a good job of combining age-appropriate projects to reinforce learning with just plain facts. ... A great way to bring a bit of the outdoors inside.

Well-designed, well thought-out, these will satisfy young listeners and encourage further research in slightly older kids.
