Toppers is a simple and engaging series that looks at basic science subjects. Bold, informational text and clear photographs support the carefully selected activities and encourage young readers to have fun with science! This series seeks to visually explore an element of everyday life from the child's viewpoint. Each book promotes discussion between the reader and the parent or teacher while at the same time forming a basis for observation and critical thinking. Through interpretation of word and picture, children will make their own discoveries, a vital element in the learning process.
