Critic Reviews

“"This series taps into the natural curiosity of young children with simple explanations of how some plants, animals, and foods are made. Kids will see familiar objects and animals become part of the lifecycle of an oak tree. They will read that people and machines work together to make bread and footballs. They will see images of the life stages of ladybugs and tulips. Each step in the process is described with one sentence on a bright yellow page and accompanied by a large photo. The back matter includes a visual glossary, resources, and an index. ”

"A simple introduction to popular science and manufacturing concepts, best for beginning readers."—Booklist
