Non-Fic (a Scholastic First Discovery Book)

I love this! It's a small book (6x6?) with the occasional clear plastic page that shows one aspect of something on one side and another aspect of the same thing on the other side. The sentence structure and length is simple, but the vocabulary is not. Does a great job of explaining complicated things in an easy way. Great book to begin research: gives the ideas and terms and then can go find books on desired aspects of light. (I would like to find some current pics of examples of light and print them on stickers to put over the 1990's versions at the end of the book: flashlight, camera, television, tv remote, halogen lamp (maybe even replace this with LED?) and lighter.)

Vocab/concepts: light is energy, chlorophyll, plankton, shadows, light moves in straight lines, fluorescent, luminous, absorb, phosphorescent, substance, chemical reaction, auroras, nebula, comet, halos, silhouettes, no color in the dark, incandescent, Edison, moon reflects light of sun

No data for levels, but other books in this series are 3.0-3.8. No page numbers, unfortunately.

I love this series. Some of them are very hard to find and command a high price. The pictures are clear and bright and the "clear pages" add interest. They are European based, so some of the species pictures are not native but the information is sound. Recommended, if you can find them!

Q2021 book.

The transparencies in this book are seriously all the rage. I am so glad I splurged and found some eBay dude selling 30+ books in a lot. They are the perfect combination of fun and informative.
