From School Library Journal:
Kindergarten-Grade 2-Two welcome additions to a prolific series designed to educate and stimulate young learners. In the first book, Branley explores magnetism and the uses and history of magnets. Several simple experiments allow for hands-on, empirical verification of concepts. The illustrations, the tone of the text, and the device of a helpful mouse add appeal to a subject that may have had a limited audience. The second title, which is complemented by Lloyd's artful renderings, examines camouflage as an animal defense. Each spread shows several creatures blended into their natural environment; all of them are accurately illustrated and clearly identified. The final pages invite readers to take a closer look at the world around them and discover hidden life. These titles are well-designed, written, and illustrated. In both books, the information is relevant and succinct. These beautiful and simple introductions to science will appeal to any child who has ever asked, "Why?"-Christy Norris, Valley Cottage Library, NY
